A few weeks back, my trust work-horse, my blue benz, decided to just quit on me. I’ve been taking cabs for the past week and it hasn’t been cheap. I’ve noticed the steady decline in my savings (or at least what I try to perceive as my savings) since I started doing that.

So today on an early, early Saturday morning, the electrician came to check what exactly was wrong with my car. After about an hour’s worth of tinkering around I’ve spent about P500 on the mechanics fee and realized it still won’t work.

I need a new battery. Cost? About 4-5 thousand pesos.

It actually gave me more reason to consider just buying the other benz I’ve been eyeing. I do not know what exactly is wrong with it. From what I hear nothing. Its in perfect running condition. Its the body that I want. And here’s the clincher, its automatic.

Now I just need about 200-250 thousand pesos and that baby is all mine.

I hope the bulk buy that I was selling for next year pushes through. I badly need a new car.

*p.s: On a side note, I’ve been trying lately to blog without pictures not because I can’t come up with some but rather I want to work on my writing. It was the primary reason I started to blog in the first place, and sometimes I find that because of the pictures I tend to include, I don’t write as well as I would like. I hope you guys understand!

Remember the other day when my shoes were literally swimming in oil? (referring to this post) Something terribly went wrong with the car and it was spewing oil from underneath the dashboard unto my pants and shoes.

Today I had some free time and called in a mechanic to have it fixed. My car being vintage and all, it required a special mechanic to figure out the problem.

Luckily, my sister had connections and was able to have one attend to my concerns right away. Just in time too! I have a car again!!

The gauge apparently just broke.

Will take it out for a spin later for a dinner with Pat. Hope its fine already.
