Two days later, Ricky told me he was not in a position to pick me.
Ricky picked me from my work place one evening as usual. Winter was around the corner and it was beginning to get a bit chilly than normal. I didn’t worry about the cold since I knew Ricky’s car came with a perfect air conditioning unit. All I needed to do was switch on the heater and we will be good to go. To my surprise, when U settled into Rciky’s car, the heater couldn’t come on. I struggled to keep warm and kept rubbing my hands for a while. When I asked him what happened to his car heating system, he dismissed it as a minor issue that he is yet to fix. Apparently this has been going on for a while and he was waiting for the right time to take the car to the mechanic. Knowing Ricky, this may not happen any time soon. He has a bad habit of putting things off until it is almost too late to act. I didn’t push it further and decided to leave matters. My strategy to combat the cold weather was to dress warmly and keep myself comfortable despite the cold. After all, I was in the car for only 15 minutes each way. Two days later, Ricky told me he was not in a position to pick me. It turns out that the heater was completely broken. It was bad that some of the internal components of his car were freezing. The mechanic said that it would be dangerous to drive around without a new vehicle and a better HVAC unit.
