Botched Car Wash

I was SO busy this whole week that I wasn't able to blog all these time. Di bale, babawi tayo! Haha!

Another car woe situation (and it never stops! Hahaha!)! This time, it was brought about by a "supposed to be harmless" car and engine wash.

I went by the Petron station near our subdivision on my way home and inquired about the car wash. When I learned that it was pretty cheap, I decided to go back later in the evening.

So there I was, expecting this to be just an hour long. I excitedly watched the employees bathing the car, vacuuming the insides, and cleaning the engine. After it was over, I happily paid the tab and decided to go home.

But wait! While I started the car, something wasn't right. Parang "umuubo" yung engines! But I still went ahead. I set the gear in reverse... biglang namatay! I tried again, namatayan na naman! And again... and again! The other gas boys were jeering on me, maybe something like "whooooo hindi ata marunong mag drive ito, namamatayan ng makina!".

When I asked one of them if this is natural after an engine wash, one ignorant gas boy answered that it is! "Nalamigan" lang daw yung makina! Bullshit! I decided to test drive the car around the subdivision instead of going home.

And fucked up, it is! It can barely go into "primera"! And when I move to "segunda" (2nd gear), namamatay yung makina!

Badtrip sobra! So I decided to bring it back and confront that guy who did the engine wash! As in I interrupted him from the new car he was washing! Medyo badtrip ako when I asked him about it. Takot na takot. I figured later na medyo "darna" pala si kuya! Haha! But that didn't stop me from heckling at him... it was my car he messed up in the first place.

After a while, he decided to use the blower to some parts of the engine. Medyo bumuti na yung takbo. Medyo nakaka-shift na sa 2nd gear, pero its still "clunky". I decided to go home na muna for now, since it took 3 hours na! Kainis!
