The Bomb

My mum calls my car 'the Bomb'. I guess it is because it is getting on in years and ever so often it does something unexpected just to get attention. Just today I sent Sunny (that is the name Joyce and I gave it) to the Tan Chong Service Centre at Toa Payoh. Which by coincidence or design, is a few blocks away from where Rachelle stays. Not to mention Carolyn and Alison in nearby Bishan...

It turns out that Sunny's shock absorbers were giving problems and hence the knocking sounds for the last few days. So I got her fixed. She will be ready tomorrow afternoon.

On the way back from the workshop, I was thinking. Thinking about how much we have spent on Sunny for repairs and maintanaince since acquired her. I think it comes out to a rather tidy sum. The repairs today costs total $900 before discount. The repairs we piad for after her accident with the lorry amounted to $3500. There are also the numerous other repairs, checks and all we did over the years. I guess it might have actually been more wothwhile scrapping Sunny and buying a new one or a second hand model instead.

But I am a sentimental fool....*sigh*
