Getting Use to Candice

Alright, Candice is the name of my new car, if you're wondering. As you know, I sold Kim (Kimberly) a couple of weeks back, and I am adjusting to Candice right now. You all must be asking, what's the difference? Well one thing for sure, its the size of the car. Compared to Kim, Candice is longer and wider therefore making estimations on turning/parking a lot harder. There is still so much of Candice to explore. It's like starting a whole new relationship. You need to know how she behaves, what are her likes and dislikes.

The Curve Incident
Well recently, Candice has been having a minor conjunctivitis, which leaves her one eye blind at times (one of the headlamps had a bad connection). So yesterday I went to take her for a check up. I was told that the connection socket was faulty and needed a change. Well, I then had to change to brighter bulbs too as the current one was really dim. Ok, so anyway, after changing the bulbs, I headed to The Curve, to meet a friend.

After parking Candice, I decided to test out her new bulbs under lower lighting conditions. Guess what??! It didn't work! Only the smaller bulbs were working! I panicked as I was there around 6pm and it's going to be dark soon and imagine driving without headlamps! I know for the fact that the shop closes at 7pm. So I just went in to "pay" the parking as I wanted to go back there to fix the problem. The card read: "RM0.00" as I haven't been there long enough to be even charge a parking fee. So, as I was driving out of the parking lot, I decided to test out the lights again. Then guess what!!? IT WORKS! Fuck! It turns out that Candice's "eyes" don't open when the engine is not started. It's different from how Kim use to behave, that's why I panicked.
Sheesh, lucky thing I haven't exited the parking area, but just gave away my space to someone else. So I had to make a "U-ee" and find another lot. I feel so stupid but lucky thing, no one else was there to witness the drama.
