The Clairvoyant finally got her car after three and a half months at Mazda repair shop. Three and a half months! And to think that we even pleaded to the casa last October to have the car fixed and ready to go before Christmas! The price tag was a pocket-emptying, passbook-ripping 248,000 pesos; down from the over 280,000 peso initial bill after some discounts were given. We could've bought a nice used car for that amount. But what the heck, it needed to be paid if only to finally conclude this chapter of a still unfinished book co-authored by one Ondoy.
The Crown of course is still at the repair shop. It has been quite difficult to find parts and it has yet to go through a paint job although the body repairs have been made. When it finally rolls off the shop then probably I can start calling it quits with the first car I ever bought. It'll probably be the first car I'll sell despite the sentimental value I've placed on it. Oh well, farewells are necessary as I am now committed to another - a Corolla...
