Mileage: 5117 km
Jack crosses the 5000km mark. Hurrah!
Jack not due for service. Double Hurrah!
Wonderfully the Spectra is serviceable every 10,000 km only. At the rate I drive that's very good news indeed. Baby Kancil was previously also serviced every 10K km, but that was due to financial constraints. Since Kancils are serviceable every 5K km you can imagine the condition Baby is in by the time she reached 100K km.
One more reason to love Jack. Service every 10K km. Love love love...

Jack-Quiz
This is a photo of
a) Jack newly tinted
b) Jack on first road-trip down to Melaka
Answer: Both
Newly tinted Jack visits Anah in Melaka. And stops by Seremban.
New tints can't wind down window. Imagine the agony of going through multiple tolls and having to stop and open door (and being short sometimes have to get down car) to swipe touch-n-go. Oh... malu siot. Hahahaha.

Mileage Spree
Looking back at the previous four posts, Jack does seem like a rather sad car. Dented, scratched, dirty and scratched again. Hrm.. I've got comments I don't deserve to drive him. Haha.. well.. we'll make our peace in due time. I still kind of hate Jack since can't really drive him. I mean drive.
Jack spent a weekend just sitting in my porch with his mileage stagnant. Surprising, eh, Jack not driven at all, considering me the big kaki jalan. I got chauffeured around instead so Jack didn't budge. Teehee.
To be nice to Jack I've been building up his mileage throughout this week.
Mon: Subang - Serdang (out to meet darlings Ian & James) - Subang - OKR - Subang
Tue: Subang - Cyberjaya - Equine Park (lunch with Jeeves and Orslon) - Cyberjaya
- Putrajaya (badminton) - Subang
Wed: Subang - Cyberjaya - Dengkil (lunch) - Cyberjaya - Bangsar (watch play) - Subang
Thu: OKR - KL (Berjaya Times Square; Borders!!) - Sunway (snooker) - SS2 (dinner) - Subang
Nice jump in mileage. Bet he feels good to be actually used.

Dirty Jack
Proof I've been taking very good care of Jack. The mud stains are one week old at the time of the photo.
After some lecturing from certain quarters, I got Jack washed. At carwash la.. of course.

Jack earns Another Stripe
On the way to work today there was an un-explainable jam at the Subang toll. Cars were messily trying to nose each other in confusing no-line area at the toll. Things were a bit tight as we inched our way towards the toll booth.
A blue Iswara came close at Jack's right rear. The blur Ah Lian driving it obviously has bad judgment. She nicked Jack's rear a bit as she was trying to cut across the packed space (to where? only she knows. there wasn't much other place to go to)
I did come down to take a look. Cars were standstill anyway so I had time to come down and see and scare the Ah Lian. Not much damage, so I got back in car. Just checked that there's no visible dent. Made an effort not to look or talk at the girl, cause my fuse was close to blowing and I'd have been pretty nasty to her if I wanted to. But why spoil my Monday morning?
Did a thorough assessment of damage once safely parked in office building (and temper in check). Got minor scratches at the side of the previous scratch. Nice. My collection is just blooming. Now Jack’s got green and blue paint in pretty scrawls at the right rear bumper. Thanks, Ah Lian.
Yes, Miss Ah Lian was driving close to steering wheel. Next time... don’t know how to judge your car edges... drive Kancil enough la...

Story of the Dent
Jack is dented, I guess that is common knowledge. Here's the details
Where - SS2
When - Day 6
What - old Iswara
Who - old scared aunty
Why - was rushing, late for an interview...
How - Jack's driver, who had before this been driving extra extra careful (Jack being new and all) was late for an interview. So she drove like how she usually does. At this little junction in busy SS2, she saw a car nosing slowly out. Good judgment decreed she should stop because the driver was an old lady who doesn't look quite too sharp. Good judgment wasn't heeded.
At one point the two cars were locked closely. Old lady peered out and inched car forward. Jack rocked a bit. Jack's driver was stunned. They stopped at the side of the road, old lady quaking in car. Didn't even get down, instead she stammered from her window. 'Sorry, sorry mumble mumble'.
Jack's driver came down see car. Jack's driver blind, cannot see dent. Really. Jack's driver says OK to scared old lady and speeds off to the already late interview.
Next day Jack's driver remembers scrape and go checks Jack again. Sees dent. Whoa... heart pain. Black mood whole day. And on top off the pain of dent is the singe of stupidity - only 6 days and dented! Honestly the dumbass feeling was more painful than the dent. Hahaha.
