i just had my car spend almost a week in the shop without it being started.. when i got the car back yesterday... man.. there were a lot of smoke coming out when i press on the accelerator... and its not gray smoke.. its more like dark brown... babied it for awhile since i was in a city that penalizes smoke belchers.. then when i got to a wide open stretch of private road (really wide.. it around 6 lanes abreast) ... i stomped on the pedal.. wow!.. all the cars behind me vanished!.. didnt let off for a good 2 kilometers..i just mashed the pedal.. poor motorists behind me...after that.. went into our compound.. that night.. i can see the headlights of the cars behind me even if i was accelerating.. thank god!....

diesels really dont like being garaged.. ehehhe
