Your Transport Tales

One day, while I was driving home from work, I noticed that there was smoke coming out from my engine. Knowing that there must be something wrong with it, I quickly shifted the gear into neutral and turned my emergency lights on. I got out of my car, opened my hood and noticed that the engine had failed. About thirty minutes later, a tow truck came to tow my car to the nearest mechanic where my family would meet me to pick me up. A day later, my mechanic called and told me that the engine had completely failed and I would need a new one. I asked him for a price quote which he said was around five thousand dollars. This was too expensive to repair for me especially on an old car that would probably break down in another month or so. Therefore, I decided to get a new car. However, most cars now a days have automatic transmissions and the car that I'm most familiar with is my old one, which has a manual transmission so I would also need to enroll in a driving lessons course and take classes on how to handle and drive a car that has an automatic transmission as opposed to a manual one. I found a cheap driving lessons course online that would teach me all of the things needed to know about cars such as how to care for it, drive it, and maintain it. From this driving lessons course I learned many things I have never knew about cars such as how to change the spark plug, repair the timing belt, and replace the catalytic converter. I felt that this new knowledge would help me with repairing and maintaining my new car in the future. As the driving lessons course came to an end, I was required to take a driving practice test which I passes with flying colors. Now that I have finished this course, I have to find a new car. I needed a cheap and fuel efficient car that would run reliably for the next ten years or so. I went to my car dealership and say the plethora of makes and models they had. In the end, I decided to buy a 2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The car has excellent fuel efficiency, it is very reliable and has the latest safety technology so just in case of a crash, my chances of survival are high. I still have that car and it hasn't disappointed me yet.
