Cars breakdown

This morning, one of the 'Things i wish do not happen' list just happened - Car breakdown in the Smart Tunnel. Me and Cheepster were chatting bout Fly FM Pagi show when suddenly the car acting weird. Since Jln Tun Razak's exit is always slow moving, and i'm getting worried the car died in the middle of the lane so i suggested Cheepster to use Jln Sultan Ismail's exit. Kluar sket jer from the tunnel, Cheepster had no choice but to pull over on the emergency lane.

We tried to call insurance company for towing service, when Peronda Smart appeared and informed us that they will call their tow truck and tow the car until Times Sq building. While we were waiting suddenly, another car pullover macam ribut in front of us. I tot ada accident, but rupanyer keta dia overheat. Peronda Smart tuh pegi approach orang tuh plak and nampaklah dat guy tgh explain aper problem with his car.



Tetiba lagik skali, ada keta Honda plak breakdown in the middle of the road. Apo kono nie sumer nak breakdown dekat2.



Pening peronda Smart tuh jadiknyer sampai 3 bijik keta emergency at the same time. Then datang lagik 2 peronda to control the traffic. I can say that they were good and efficient.



And then the Smart's tow truck arrived and towed us until Times Sq building. I was lucky he dropped us there because my stomach was purging and i really need to go to the washroom. Then i stopped at Krispy Kreme to get some donuts for breakfast, i was surprised that they opened as early as 8am. Sian Cheepster stressed out about his car and damage cost, the least i could do is kasik dia sugar boost (donut+coffee) and amik EL to teman him. We then had to wait for the second tow truck to tow us back to Shah Alam for almost 1 hour and guide the driver to our spot over the phone. Time tgh pasang2 tali nak tarik tuh, i noticed a taxi parked behind us sbb rosak jugak. Ish ish!



Uncle tow truck nie looks like Malay kan? Maybe because his tanned skin hehe but chinese slang dia very pekat and cute. Quite a nice guy and throughout the ride dia citer what type of cars yang slalu breakdown yang dia penah tow e.g waja, pesona, gen2. yang perodua punyer kalo breakdown cases dia tak penah tow except for accident. fuhhhh hebat gak perodua punyer engine hehe! Luckily we didn't have to pay for the towing service because it was covered by insurance, and we only have to bear the toll cost. Sampai workshop, orang tuh hantar kitowang balik. Lepas cooldown sket aku trus tertido sbb penat and panas...too much stress in the morning.



Lesson learned:

1. Just call Smart Tunnel's helpline if you have a car problem in the Smart Tunnel area. Even if you don't, they'll know through the cctv and act immediately.
2. I rode 2 tow trucks in one day! Tingat tow truck aku dalam parking wars hahaha.
   
3. Perodua's engine is not bad at all.
4. Since skang banyak keta curik done by tow truck, kalo tow truck yang tgh tow a car questioned by the police, the driver can only proof its not a kereta curik by showing the owner's car key or the acknowledgment form signed car's owner.
5. Biler lalu toll, we had to pay for 2 cars (tow truck + towing car)
   
6. Kene kluar lagik awal to avoid traffic jam and car heat problem. Emmm awal? *nantok!*
   
7. I just learned a new car part's name...air/fuel controller.
