Jesada Teknik Car Museum (by Bryce)

The Jesada Technik Museum is interesting. It’s not a museum made for profit, as there's no admission fee. It's not a museum meant solely for mass attraction either, as there are no cars that are polished, restored, or surrounded by velvet rope. So what is the Jesada Technik museum then? Unique. The very first car in the museum wasn't actually in the museum. And it wasn't a car either. The very first automobile in eyeshot happened to be a very old double decker London bus. Upon closer appearance it was clear this wasn't a pampered bus. The paint was chipping, the tires were flat, and oh lord was it dusty. But seeing this London bus in a condition like this didn't upset me. I felt like it made it more original, and boy it was. It had every original part still on it. Original seats, original signs, the original wiper fluid was probably still in there too. As I moved on and left my dad to sign the waivers the second car I noticed was a Peel Trident. For anyone who doesn't know what a Peel Trident is, it's one of the smallest two seaters i've ever seen (if you can fit two people in it, that is). I'd love to get technical and talk about every car in the technik museum but a) if I got technical you would fall into a coma, and b) If I mentioned every car in the museum my fingers would fall off from typing too much, so i’ll just keep it short and sweet for y’all by mentioning some of my favorites. After gawking at the Trident I noticed something very special. A Citroen CX. I believe the Citroen CX is one of the greatest cars ever made. It was very ahead of its time as it came with self leveling hydropneumatic suspension, which could raise and lower itself on demand. It also came with a self centering steering wheel, and the brake pedal was more button-like then pedal-like. The Citroen CX had even more tricks than a clever suspension and a self centering steering wheel too. The one I observed was diesel and came with a five speed stick. Did I mention that the Citroen has some of the most comfortable seats, maybe ever made? When my dad and I had finished meandering through the car's in section 1 we started walking over to section 2, and that is where the mayhem started. As we walked through section 2 we happened to be navigating through a massive school group. All the sudden they all started flocking around Dad and I. And then they started asking questions. And then all the sudden it wasn't just 3 kids flocking around me. It was a whole herd. They were pounding me with questions, asking me where I was from? How old was I? Did I go to school? One of them asked if I was nice, to which I responded “Oh boy I hope so”. They laughed at that. Then it wasn't just boys flocking around me, as the girls started asking questions too. And it wasn't just questions, god no it wasn't just questions. I was shaking hands with all the boys, saying hi to them, and whenever I shook hands with one of the girls the rest of them went into a high pitched scream of excitement. And then they whipped out their phones taking pictures of me, and taking selfies with me using satan's little poles of failed potential (selfie sticks). The instructor even took a selfie with me. One girl who I shook hands with didn't want to let go, so I just played along with it and held her hand for 30 seconds till she let go and shrieked out of excitement. This went on for quite a while and I actually got used to it. I even was having a little bit of fun. At the end some girls even went in for hugs. I even heard five or six say “I love you!” to me when leaving. After that um… experience, my dad and I checked out funny cars with unpronounceable names for a while longer and then promptly left, feeling ready for some air conditioning, a bed, and a refrigerated Reese’s.
