It is with the most sorrowful and heavy heart that I announce my car has suffered a massive heart attack, no pacemaker can help this time round, a replacement of heart is required.
That fateful day, I was cruising along the first lane on the expressway when the car suddenly jerked and stalled. When it jerked, I heard explosion and some metal piece came loose and went “cling cling cling” around the engine area.
White smoke burst out of the bonnet and I was forced to filter to the shoulder lane. I got down to check thinking that the bumper has fallen off.
Nope, nothing. Which means something worse has happened.
True enough, I opened up the bonnet and saw engine oil splattered all over the place.
Tow truck was summoned immediately, but coz of peak hour traffic, it didn’t reach until 45minutes later. And guess what I did during that 45minutes?
I slept.
Don’t laugh. I was really tired that day and was planning to go home early to rest, but alas Murphy’s Law.
Anyways, car was towed to the workshop, the tow truck driver was really talkative, kept telling me about the cars he towed and how he had to work long hours coz not enough drivers etc etc. I fought hard not falling asleep.
Finally we arrived at the workship and after inspecting the engine, the mechanic pointed out a hole in our engine block and informed that a change of engine is required.
That instant lightning flashed before us and we went into the great depression. Wahlau eh! Change engine means spending lots of money leh!
It came up to about $2k. Burned a big hole in my pocket. Sob!
The culprit.
