Meet my ex!

On last Saturday after a lesson I received a call from a friend. He said my ex. was smoking. Ex? Smoking? Yes, he was referring my ex. 206. haha~

So I hurry went to my friend place to see any help that can be provided. When I saw the ex, I quite surprised for everything I seen. There was some obvious scratch and paint off. The car interior appeared worn. My friend said idling nightmare was coming back again. And the last one was the most surprised, the gear head connection broke. How come it can be broken? It is made with metal and some hard plastic. My friend is so scare for the car reliability, so I helped to drive to garage. On the way I had several times couldn't shift the gear due to broken gear. This was dammit danger especially couldn't shift to right gear or failed to slow down with gear down. After the check up, we suspect the cause of smoke was not mechanical problem. The cause was just the driver didn't release the handbrake entirely so the brake pad kissed the disc all the time. Sound interesting, right?
