A little story about Dicky Tan...

I picked up my 'new' car from the dealer. Man, I was so excited. I took it out for a brief spin with the dealer just to check if everything was in order. I stalled five times within the first 45 seconds of turning on the car. But that was my fault, not Dicky's. Anyway, everything checked out, so I was content, and I drove off the lot towards home.

Glancing down at my cracked dashboard, I noticed something was wrong. I was low on gas. No problem, It'll be my first cost associated with the car. I put 20 ringgit in the tank, felt content, and started to drive away. Unfortunately though, the gas gauge didn't change. I quickly realized my gas gauge was broken. No problem, I'll guestimate using kilometers.

Later on, I picked up Stacey, my housemate, to go out for a ride. Before pulling out of the parking lot, I tried putting down the window. It got stuck, then I put it back up and tried again. This time, the entire window fell into the door. It came completely off of its track within the door and slammed into the bottom of the door. Ugh....such is life with Dicky Tan.

(note: the gas gauge is still broken, but the window is fixed:-)
