Proton oh proton...


My new Gen2 (less than 1 year) has a problem. The front right wheel is making some frictional noise so I have to send it for rectification. This is where sometimes I do regret buying a Proton (even if it's the R3 version).

I made an appointment a week ago for this slot and I was at Glenmarie by 8:30am sharp and guess what? I have to wait for 45min for my turn. In 45 minutes I could be half way to Kuantan already in Scooby. In 45 minutes I could be making babies (notice plural - babies hehe). In 45 minutes I could be in Singapore on a flight. Haiyah...what a waste of time.

What cheeze me off even more is that the 45 minutes taken is not to fix my car, it was the time required for me to wait for a customer exec (whatever they are called nowadays) to attend to my issue. I am sure the mechanic needs 5 hours to figure it out! If I asked Ah Chai, sure kow tim in 30minutes.

Maybe Proton is for the masses. It is definitely not for me from now on. So next car will be a Honda Accord Type R before my Porsche. F**k, where to park all my cars lar...
