The worst day to have a car

Since I was very sick the entire weekend I couldn’t write about all the bad stuff that happened to the team the past week. But I’m better now and I need to talk about this.

The past thursday I had problems with a flat tire and had to pay about 150USD to replace it. This is something that was kind of expected since the tire was very damaged already. I guess i'm not the most responsible person in the world since I should have replaced it months ago…

My loved car

I must say I love my car. She is as beautiful as the first time I met her ❤

But I'm afraid this isn't the worst thing that happened the past week…

As many of you probably don't know I'm from México and car theft is one of the most common things in the world.

Well, the past friday somebody stole the car’s computer of my friend Evelyn. This was very surprising for me since the usual thing is to steal the tires or maybe the mirrors, but not the whole computer. I just can’t imagine who could buy this.

The cost to repair her car will be about 10,000 USD but I sincerely hope that VW helps her with at least a fraction of the cost.

She looks very sad and with a good reason. Buying a car is not easy with this economy and she hasn’t even finished paying for it(Her car is almost brand-new).

My grandmother used to tell me:

No hay mal que por bien no venga

Which in english could be:

Every cloud has a silver lining

But I believe that sometimes bad things just happen and there is no point in finding any meaning to it.

I'm pretty sure she will be fine, she is a strong woman :D
