You Meet the Nicest People in a Honda

As the famous commercial goes, “You Meet the Nicest People on a Honda”. I have a Honda car for the past 6 years and I suppose yours truly is qualified to be one of the “nicest people”.
Just more than a week ago someone in another Honda banged into my car. Of course the other driver was also supposed to be one of the nicest people around.
Today while driving in the Central Express Way Tunnel my car engine ceased. I was stuck in the tunnel and so I called up the Automobile Association (AA) for help. AA could not tow the car from the tunnel and I had to call the Land Transport Authority. The LTA actually knew that my car broke down in the tunnel from the CCTV and sent a traffic marshal to direct the traffic and a tow-truck to tow my car out of the tunnel. This was all done in about 15min, all for free. Actually not for free, as you can imagine the taxes we pay to buy and maintain a car.
Anyway the AA finally towed my car to the workshop but today the workshop is closed as it is a public holiday. You may meet the nicest people on a Honda, but not for long.
