• Xwind got wiggly steering wheel.  Had the wheels balanced and aligned at Goodyear Servitek Palanan.  Problem wasn’t solved.  I was told the tie rods and some joints need to be replaced — estimate cost amounts to more than P10,000!  Went to the “suki” carshop of my friend GP at Banawe (hmmm, I think they consider me a “suki” apart from GP na rin ‘coz despite the cheap bill, they give me discounts pa).  Anyhoo, their prognosis is Xwind’s center link is busted (yeah, saw it under chassis).  So had it replaced na nga lang; and pinasabay ko na the tune-up and change oil.  My total bill?  Less than P5000!  Steering wheel, no longer wiggly! 

You might think maybe I’ve just been had.  I believe otherwise.  GP trusts them and a whole bunch of car owners with even more expensive and bigger cars patronize the shop.  Tapos, the break pads and shoes they replaced for me two years ago are still great!  Ang happy!

Oh, and pinasabay ko na rin the flapping side mirrors. Yahoo, hindi na sila linilipad ngayon!

• Siempre, nagtampo si Wudju!  Just this morning, I noticed, super wiggly its steering wheel. Whatda?! 

Dalin ko na sa Banawe “suki” shop agad when I get extra money.  Won’t commit the same mistake of going to Goodyear Servitek Palanan!
