damn starter

the sun was out...



the skies were blue...



the birds were chirping...



what better day to wash the skymobile?

so moby drives down to the open air car wash area in his estate, takes out all the necessary equipment (pail, cloth, leather cleaner) and proceeds to bathe the skymobile to the best of his ability.

when he finishes an hour and a half later, he lets out a little sigh of content, puts the key into the engine and...and...and nothing. the skymobile would not start. 45 minutes and two phone calls later, the automobile association of singapore's mechanic comes down:



he promptly informs moby that the starter on the skymobile is spoilt. the mechanic manages to restart the car by knocking a bit here and there, but he advises moby to change the starter asap. =|


the skymobile is not feeling well

sigh...oh well. this is part and parcel of any relationship. i just hope she gets better soon for starters...
