Carless!

Posted in Personal by Rami on the May 28th, 2005

I took my car to the dealer ship for service. I waited more than 30 minutes just to get my paper work done to have my car admitted. As far as I can tell my car was fine except that it needed the 45k service but again what do I know about cars. They have told me that it would take till monday to get my car back. If I had done it at an outside shop it would take them 2 hours max so why 3 days? Plus at the outside shop it usually costs 70KD while at the dealer ship it costs around 90KD. Anyhow, 30 minutes after I admit the car I get a call from the service guy saying that my car has two more problems. An oil leak from the transmission and something called “radius pushing”! I have no idea what “radius pushing” is or “boshat” in arabic so I call my brother in law who knows about cars. My brother in law explains it to me and since I don’t really trust any outside shops I call the service person back and agree to fix the two problems along with the service which also adds a day for getting my car back. Now not only am I carless till tuesday but I’m going to be KD300less.

    Hey Rami… I wanted to post a comment to Pearls, but I got kinda’ worried she’d not welcome me or think “Who the hell’s she?!” or other nasty thoughts women usually manifest in their minds :)

    Anyways, pass this to her:

    Hi,

    I coincidentally came across Rami’s blogg & I immediately figured that the “geek who loves computers” & works in an ISP is Rami :)

    Elmohem… he lead me to you & I went through each section of your blog, very very interesting & tutorial, especially when it comes to babies - now I can’t wait to have my own, to apply your tips … heheh!

    You sound like a great person & hopefully, we get to know each other.. Rami is great person too, which I respect alot, nice couple you both make! Allah yekhaliekom la ba3d

    I hope you don’t get offended by anything I said.

    Bana

    Hi Bana,

    You seem to be very sweet yourself. I remember you from the camping event, and I believe you organized it, right? I hope you’re planning something as enjoyable this year too, so that I’ll be looking forward to seeing you there.

    And you’re welcome to comment on my blog anytime you want, and really I don’t mind at all. I’m just happy that you’ve found it quite useful.

    P.S. I’ll try to post some baby pics soon.
