终于又成为有车族了

yesterday my supervisor told me I can drive the company's  truck home, it means I will be the only one using this truck. I was happy, the last time I own a car was 3 or 4 years ago. I really like to have a car, but can't afford the gas/insurance/maintenance fee.

But when I saw the truck, very disappointed, flat tire, broken mirror, high mileage... quite a old truck. I drove the truck to garage, fix the tire, then drove it home, 70KM away, took me 2.5 hours. The main reason is the mirror is broken, can't see what happen at the back, daren't to change lane.

Today, in the morning, I am angry. I told the super I want to change the car, or totally fix all the problems. He said this is the last truck avaliable, and company can't pay for it if I go to fix the car.

I am going to abandon it and leave the truck in parking lot. But later I change my mind. It is an old truck, but better than nothing. The engine is good, the transmission is also ok. The truck is so powerful and when I am driving on the road, many cars give me the way. I decide to fix it, refurbrish it and make it run. But a new mirror is not very expensive, fixing the tire may also fixing the power steering problem... things are not that hard. Hum.., really a good beginning.

My friend, how are you now? you must enjoy the beautiful summer in Australia right now. I am driving the old pick-up truck in freezing rain.
The mal-function of the used car is a perfect murder weapon, isn't it? I know it is a trick, but have to take it, I need to work to make a living.

What summer? We have been having a few hours of sunshine, few hours of rain, and the rest in between.

Hard to know what you can do with a truck these days, but in the old days, all young Aussies, especially those living in the bush, aspired to driving a pick-up truck.

All the best for the holiday season.

Good comment. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing.
Yesterday I changed the mirror and tire, now the truck is running much better. I will drive it to the Atlantic ocean in summer.

Happy Chinese new year!

Today is the first day of lunar new year--the dragon year, waaa...!!
In the morning, heavy rain. I plan to go to garage to do the oil change of my truck. After 5 minutes' drive, engine stops. the steer and brake lost control...... i try all my best to stop the truck on the centre of the road. Then I call my supervisor, he said just battery issue. So call my friend to help me make a jump start. no use. we try many times in the rain, soaked, disappointed.

I can't help but complaining this cargo van again. why the company give me the worst truck? why I always get the low pay and dangerous job in canada? Is this my destiny after all of what I strive for?

later, the tow truck came and send me and the truck to the garage, wait several house to fix it. The technician told me the ignition coil is broken. On my way home, I ask myself, this is so called canadian life? what the hell?

when I finished my dinner, I think it is not very bad after all. The truck is fixed, I am alive, why complain so much? The job is not that great, but do I have better choices? No, this is the one I can get right now. Ok, no complain, happy new year.

上周我的车又趴窝了. 结果只好拖车加修车, 浪费了大半天.
这次检查的结果是油泵坏了. 当初那个经理给这车我不是蓄意谋杀吗, 我靠!!!
不过现在换了FUEL PUMP后感觉真的很好, 加速很安静平稳.  但我现在开车修车怕了, 冬天来前就把这工作辞了吧.
