Did you know there exists such things as move-your-steering-after-kill-engine lock?

I didn't, not even after 9 months of Jack driving. Luckily sampahman was around when Jack refused to start after being move-your-steering-after-kill-engine locked, thus saving me a semi-panic attack and a semi-hysterical phonecall

Thanks for the how to unlock a move-your-steering-after-kill-engine lock tip! Owe you one.

Jack Serviced

Mileage : 20712 km

Jack goes to that unpleasant place, Kia Service Centre (Puchong) for his third and last service with these noxious people.

Oil filler 13.70
Washer 1.50
Bass Rmq 5.00 (dunno. writing on receipt horrible)
Eng. Oil 165.00
ATF 57.90
Service FOC
Total 243.10

Counter lady did not bother to get me to sign the service book as before, probably because they know nobody ever comes back for service with them once the warranty is up. What a contrast from Perodua service. Up to the day I sold off Baby she's only serviced in Perodua Service, and I've some friends who do they same for their Peroduas.

I can list an account of all Kia Service shortcomings, but nevermind... I'm just glad that now the warranty is settled I can take Jack to more trustworthy service people.

Jack wasn't here

Jack gets left behind at home while I go off on a day trip to Kuantan with car-man, in his ride. Sorry Jack, we couldn't take you cos your auto gear box is not too suited for the taxing drive up the winding roads of Karak highway. Taxing for an auto car, meaning. Damn I'm still wishing you're a manual drive...

The drive was pleasant enough. The highway cut through a lot of jungle and the green expanse was soothing to the eye. We stopped by Pekan to have a look see, and passed by Jack's (possible) birth place, the AMM assembly plant. There were a few naked Jack siblings out in the yard of that huge complex. Then we went on to Kuantan for lunch and spent some time chilling at the pretty beach at Teluk Chempedak before heading home.

Jack takes a Bath

After ages driving around in an inch-thick dust sweater, Jack takes a nice long scrub.
