Another new experience

It seems to be ages ago since the last time we had car’s problem(although in reality it had just been 8 months ago).That time it was just a small problem and we can fix it if we had a suitable spanner. But this time the problem is much more bigger and it is way beyond our level…The shaft broken!!!

At first no one realize anything until we are going to reach 1U,the brake started to act weirdly.We went down to check but none of know what the problem is.Anyhow we decide to head back to Setapak.The sound of cracking was getting louder and we checked the car again for the second time.This time we finally know what is wrong.One of the tyre nearly plunged out and the conclusion is the shaft had finally worn up after all those trips to Semenyih.With the shaft broken,it will be too risky to drive home so we called for the toll truck…

The toll truck arrived and luckily it was not the ordinary dragging type.It was actually a “high-tech” one and in no time,the car is safely loaded and tied on the truck,heading back to Setapak.The service will be cover in the insurance so we no need to pay anything.But to fix the shaft and return the car to a drivable state,that will need quite a lot of money…Well,the car had been use to take us to Semenyih for our FYP,so I think I had the duty to share the bills for fixing the car.

The new experience here is well, the toll truck.Seen many before but this will be the 1st using the service.Kinda interesting actually but not something that you will want to do it again and again.Feel a little lucky cause it happen today.Imagine what will happen if this happen on our way to Semenyih tomorrow. High speed driving plus the super lame road in Semenyih,it think the tyre will just separate itself from the car!!!

So,be grateful I guess…Hope the bill will be affordable…Hahahahaha….
