Always to the Rescue
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010Even if I am already a 75-year old man, I still love to drive my own 97 Mitsubishi Lancer. My children have told me to upgrade it to cars of latest models which are automatic but I refuse. I love my car even if it as old as me. My children now live in different cities. I understand they are all busy so what I do is visit them and my grandchildren as well once in a month. I do not mind travelling 20 - 25 miles from my home as long as I am able to be with my grandchildren.
One day while I was visiting them my car broke down in the middle of the road. It was a highway outside the city already so there was little or no cars passing by. I tried to fix it myself but my knowledge with cars was limited. I was a physician once, not a mechanical person. Suddenly a stranger pulled across the road and offered help. He worked for transmission repair Largo and he was on his way to visit his girlfriend. He checked on my car. I asked him if they also do manual transmission repair and I was glad that they did.
He stayed with me and brought me to their repair shop. When I left my car, I know it was in good hand.
