Dad the Mechanic

2 weeks ago, Babsmobile broke down in Zobel Roxas Street. Good thing my dad managed to park it beside a Burger Machine stand and he tried to fix it on his own, without having much of a tool except a mere negative screw driver, just so we could arrive home safe and sound.

well, he wasn't successful although this is not the first time he tried fixing cars. he tells me when he was in his early 20s he used to just pop the hood and see what he can fix. technically he learned fixing cars on his own, also with some help from his mechanic friends. small car problems, when some people would still take their cars to the auto shops to get fixed, my dad can manage here in our humble garage.

once i leave for the states, this is one of the very many reasons why i'll miss my dad. even though i'm used to getting stuck in the middle of EDSA because of a broken spark plug, overheating, dead battery, or the starter machine won't work, i'll miss discussing cars and car parts with him.

Love you, dad!
