The Final Countdown 50days left

Yes, its only 50days left before my most beloved Proton goes into the scrape yard. Its a day which I've been dreading for months maybe even years. Its my trusty machine which ensures that I get to my destination on time each day and return home safely. There were days and nights when I had to rush to the airport to pick up Ad or to drop off a document before the office closes, Proton was always willing to push the extra mile faster than it actually was comfortable to do so. Its normal happy traveling speed is at 80kmh. However, on some part of the expressways, this speed seems to be ultra slow, even trucks with a full loads seems to be traveling faster, so Proton pushed on to its next barrier of 90 sometimes even 100.

Last year, it fell seriously ill suddenly, I had a panic attack. One of its internal organs (radiator) burst, spilling hot boiling water all over the bonnet and leaked onto the roads. We were quickly greeted by a kind gentlemen (P, whose car was taking a over-heating break by the side of the road as well....) and a police officer when the incident happened in the causeway at the Woodlands checkpoint. P was very assuring and even gave up his tow truck for us as his vehicle was safe to travel. If only we had that wisdom as well..... Nonetheless, it was the one of the days when one is in trouble, they meet someone who offer them a valuable, unforgettable helping hand. Through P, we got Alex the mechanic's contact and ever since then, whenever Proton was unwell, Alex the mechanic would be the first person we call and seek advice from. Over this short period of time, we became good friends. We appreciate how much sound advice Alex the mechanic can offer to keep Proton in good working condition yet stay within our budget. He's the greatest car mechanic in the world!

Even with the great car mechanic in the world, we cannot reverse Proton's fate of meeting the scrape yard in 50days. :(

Proton is soon going to celebrating 15years of safe driving with our family from day1 of his "birth". We've all depended on Proton from one time to the other. Over this 50days, we'll share some of our heart-breaking stories about Proton to commemorate his dependable, lovable nature.
