Hello, Good bye, Hello again 2

It was freezing on the road. The engine sounded bad and smelled bad. We realized we could not shift into any gears. If you hold strong on to low, anyhow we could drive slowly. But 10 minutes after the engine started to smell. So we had to rest the engine over and over and over again. We park our car beside the road lots of huge dump cars and trailers were passing. Anyhow we came to end of the upslope, and Shinka disengaged the gear. I thought he went crazy due to the shock and coldness. No he did not.

It was the only way to gather speed when the engine is not working. We were rolling down the hill to the end of the world, no, to the gas station. It was 3am that I asked sales people if they had mechanics or not. No they did not have. We restarted to roll down the hill to the next station. I asked the same thing. No, they did not have. I know nobody wants to fix the car at 4 in the morning. But it is 100% sure we would clash if we kept rolling down in the dark. I ringed up some mechanics. Fortunately one mechanic was awake. He said he would come to the gas station in 20 minuites. We were waiting in the car and fell a sleep. He showed up 2 hours later. He was nice and quick. It took 5 minuites to chech out the car. And he said "Clutch is gone". Shinka and I decided to poke the fucking car into Kazu's house when we get back to Sydney.
