RE: Prepare for summer trip: car check
It is just wise to check the car if you plan to use it to go to some place, the oil, tires, tire pressure, extra tire, the radiator coolant and water level, the brakes, pad fluid and all and in your car's case the drive shaft just to ensure a smooth ride back and forth. @stef1 👍
We have a car that we used as a taxi then converted to a family utility car, it was my brother's car that we only borrow when I would go for my dialysis. It is still working and I think it will be used until my brother decided to finally buy a new one.
The car was an Asian SUV (AUV) specifically designed for the roads that we have here in my country it has a leaf suspension and a back-buster, I am on all fours when I ride it because it feels like you are riding a wheelbarrow because you can feel every pebble that the tires roll upon. 😆
My father just maintained it well particularly the engine which is cared by regular oil changes and other part replacements.👍
Thank you for your comment and that you also share our opinion.
It is indeed important to have a car and also it is important to make sure that it is driving. I believe it is important for you to be able to get to and back from dialysis. I am glad that your father and brother are able to keep your car in order. I can imagine that often the quality of road also play a great role and impact the car if there are many potholes :)
