Car Trouble

Dad and I were on our way home when Optra's (what we call our car based on the brand) lights dimmed, aircon and radtio got turned off.   We were cruising along Whiteplains Ave until the u-turn portion when gravity made the car stop.   Our driver J ran out of juice to park properly.  Needless to say, if you saw traffic in that area around 630-7pm, that was us with a stalled vehicle. :)

Dad called  AAP for a towing service but unfortunately, we had to wait for 3-4 hours until they could accommodate us.  Good thing Dad worked up a Plan B. His office was nearby and he had somebody to bring in  one of their service cars for our temporary use.  He also had a project just beside where we were stuck so he quickly decided to have Optra parked there overnight.  He renegotiated with AAP for the towing service to be scheduled tomorrow.

As the men did all the work (towing,pushing,talking) all that was left for me to do was keep quiet and obey.  I called our mom, since we're late going home and Busy Boy to remind him to review for his Math test tomorrow. We were finally home by 8pm.

In fairness to Optra, this was the first time it stalled big time. We had just finished a major purchase last May to finally replace the TCM and now what?

Darned Ondoy.
