I hate the car. And the car hates me. It backfires at me. It keeps running after I turn the ignition off, even after I get out, and as soon as I am behind it, it backfires at me.

nembak dari knalpot

The offence is that the car not only fails to run properly but 'adds insult to injury' by backfiring loudly as if to intimidate the owner, even waiting until the owner walks behind the exhaust pipe where the sound of a backfire is heard the loudest.
from http://www.yamaha-motor.co.id/
" Bagi pemilik motor Scorpio, terkadang akan terdengar suara meledak di knalpot saat mengurangi kecepatan dengan melepas gas. Hal ini bisa terjadi pada motor 4 Tak 1 cylinder dengan volume mesin diatas 150cc. Nembak di knalpot utamanya adalah karena kegagalan pembakaran di ruang bakar sehingga gas yang tidak terbakar tadi akan terbakar dengan sendirinya saat berada di ruang knalpot."

Jangan terjebak ungkapan \'... at me\' yang terkesan bermakna \'ke arah/terhadap saya.\' Kita bisa mengatakan \'Mesin mobil saya mati tiba-tiba.\' dengan ungkapan \'The car\'s engine suddenly died on me.\'
