A Tribute To An Automobile

As the title implies, this post is a tribute to a car, not just any car, but the car which in some way, saved my mom's life and prevent me and my sisters from becoming orphans.=).

The car is an 11 year old Ford Ranger XLT number plate WHT 4356.=). A decade old pickup truck. here's some pictures of it.=).

The few pictures i had while it's still in a good shape.=)

A picture taken while it's in Jelebu, a.k.a our family's weekend getaway.=)

Here are some of the pictures taken in Jelebu.

the house in the middle surrounded by mist is our house=)

some of the front view photos.

another front view photo in the morning, our house is covered by mist almost every morning.=)

this is the back view, sorry for the photo prob, dont know what happened to it.=S..

In this place, you wont hear all the traffic jam noise, polluted enviroment and such, all you'll experience is a quiet and peaceful place. That's why we called it our weekend getaway.=P, to getaway from all the city rush.=D.

What happened on that day is, my mom on her way driving down the hills, as you can see, our house is located on top of a hill, so you'll need drive down from the hills before you can reach the tarmac roads.=)

So, when she was on her way down the hill, suddenly the car's brake failed and my mom couldnt slow down the car on a steep slope.=(. then the car just went down a 20 feet high cliff. my mom said it was horrifying and trust me, it is. here are some photos of the car after the crash.

As you can see, the car is wrecked beyond repair, even if repair is attempt, the car will not be as rigid as before. So, it's declared total lost.=(.

If you look carefully at the forth picture, you'll notice that the driver compartment didnt deformed towards inside, if that were to happen, anyone driving the car will not be around anymore. This is also why i said this car saved my mom as the car structure is reinforced with rigid steel to prevent the whole from deforming too much even if heavy force is applied to the car. =).

Anyhow, after the accident, my mom had to rest in home for almost 3 months till fully recovered.=(. but thank god, she's fine now.=)..

And another good news is, a new pickup is introduced to our car family..=D..The Mitsubishi Triton 2.5.=D.

such a gorgeous looking pick up truck.=)..

May you rest in peace WHT4356. =)
