Del carro que estaba echando humo parejo, nos quedamos accidentados en plena vía de Tazón, veníamos de cumplir una visita a un cliente que tiene una fábrica por los predios de la Universidad Santa María y un poquito mas allá, ¿Quiénes íbamos? bueno, el buen amigo y compañero que nos hace servicio de traslados en la oficina.
Fuímos y a pesar de la perdida que nos echamos llegamos y todo muy bien, al regreso, el carro se apagó en plena vía de la Autopista Francisco Fajardo, había que empujar el carro y enseguida otras personas se bajaron de sus carros y nos ayudaron a dirigir el nuestro al hombrillo.
![ENGLISH VERSION]
We were coming from visiting a client who has a factory on the grounds of Santa Maria University and a little further away, who were we going to? Well, to the good friend and colleague who does the transportation service for us in the office.
That was far away and as I did not know how to get there I decided to hire the services of a good friend who is always ready and willing to make transfers and disposal of the unit for the route that you entrust him, it is usually right there in the Valles del Tuy, Miranda State.
We went and arrived safely, we were welcomed, we did the administrative consulting work and everything went very well. On the way back, the car turned off in the middle of the Francisco Fajardo Highway, we had to push the car and immediately other people got out of their cars and helped us to drive ours to the shoulder of the highway.
Ni idea que pasaba, si tenía gasolina, según le había hecho su mantenimiento en el taller mecánico con anticipación, intentaba prender y nada, ¿Será algo eléctrico? le pregunté: ¿Serán esos cositos que están ahí que algo le pasó?
![ENGLISH VERSION]
I had no idea what was wrong with it, if it had gasoline, according to what had been done to it at the mechanic's shop before, I tried to start it and nothing, could it be something electrical? I asked him: Could it be those little things that are there that something happened to it?Immediately two gentlemen on motorcycles arrived, ready to help, they told us not to worry, that he was a tremendous electrician, and he told us something like this: What is not in the Bible Moses knows... the gentleman in question is called Moses and from what I saw, he is in charge of helping the injured on that road, he swore, a little touch here and there and the car worked immediately.
But after we thought we were over the scare, after a few minutes of driving, the car turned off again, we stopped, checked, and looked:
One of the "fixed" things was totally melted. Mr. Ramón immediately replaced it with another one and we continued... and it turned off several times... We were going super slow, I told him: Calm down, relax, take the car by the shoulder, if you can't go on don't go on, it's better to have some lunch while the car cools down and check calmly... but he kept taking the car like that until we arrived to the highway called Tazón, approximately 500 meters from the tollbooth.
Así que tuvimos que tomar la opción B, el chofer de la Grua le dijo:
Yo cobro barato!
¿En cuanto?🤔
¿Para donde van ustedes? ¿Pá Caracas?
No amigo, Charallave...
Ah bueno, ¡Barato! les cobro 30 Dólares mas los 20 litros de gasolina...
Nooo mi hermano, así no, yo trabajo igualito que tú, ruteando en la calle, tú en tu grua y yo taxeando, la gasolina ni loco te la doy, te puedo dar 30 $ nada mas!
Pensando...🙄 Buenoo, me da los 30 $ y el pago de los cinco peajes...
¿Cuáles 5? si son dos nada mas, El de tazón ida y regreso, en la Peñita entrada de Charallave no cobran nada…

GET DOWN GET DOWN FAST! 😱
Fast and fast we got off, not even fast and furious dared to do so much! We let the car cool down, he checked, poured water and it turns out that all the water was thrown out, the radiator was damaged, then a tow truck appeared.
A young guy was the driver, he approached, greeted, and stood at the order, my dear Mr. Ramon told him that for the moment we were fine, he was calling his mechanic friend to come and help, the friend in question told him that he had no gas to move, my colleague told him not to worry about that, go to such a place to pick up 20 liters and he could get...
We waited for a while and nothing
So we had to take option B, the tow truck driver told him:
I charge cheap!
How much?
Where are you guys going? To Caracas?
No my friend, Charallave...
Oh well, cheap! I charge you 30 dollars plus 20 liters of gasoline...
No my brother, not like that, I work just like you, routing in the street, you in your tow truck and me taxiing, I won't even give you the gasoline, I can give you 30 $ nothing else!
Thinking...🙄 Well, give me the 30 $ and the payment of the five tolls... What 5?*
What 5? if there are only two, the one of this highway round trip, in the Peñita entrance of Charallave they don't charge anything...
Se le dañó la manguera
se le dañó el radiador
se le dañó una tubería
se le dañó el electroventilador...
Todo esa historia de la vida real ocurrió el día 7 de noviembre del presente año, mi amigo taxista aún no ha podido terminar de reparar su carro, circunstancias mas díficiles se han presentado y yo sigo echando patica para hacer mis diligencias, todo es temporal y tiene solución, los dramas se lo dejaremos a las novelas.😉

And here I am, thinking about the immortality of Cangrejo, thinking and reflecting that for not having fixed my car I had to pay for towing and others for another one that is not my own, we arrived in Charallave at two in the afternoon, I was left near my office and the cab driver was left in the parking lot of his house, later I called him to see what had finally happened to the car and it turns out that it had not been fixed:
The hose was damaged
the radiator was damaged
a pipe was damaged
the electric fan was damaged...
All this real-life story happened on November 7 of this year, my cab driver friend has not yet been able to finish repairing his car because more difficult circumstances have arisen and I'm still struggling to do my errands, everything is temporary and have a solution.
