Unhappy Days without SLK~

During the past two days, I sometimes hear some strange sharp noise (seems to be generated from friction of some metals) from my car when I was turning either left or right, especially when in the car park. But it doesn't happen all the time. For safety reason, I brought it for service yesterday...

This means I won't have a car to drive in the coming few days, and I really miss my car now!

Well, maybe it's time to think of having a second car~ :P

The noise is intermittent, and the dealer cannot simulate the situation... They checked the car and confirmed that everything should be fine. So, I got the car back just now!

Several weeks later when I go to Malaysia for a conference, I'll leave the car there again for the annual service.

I have been thinking of a cheaper SUV, probably a Hyundai Tucson.

Just brought the new 2008 Acura MDX and I love that car, there's so much technology in it, it's overwelming, it drives like a sports car, very good second car IMHO.
