My car, my lifesaver

I did not plan to get a driving licence in US
either did I plan to actually own my very first car in US

but, my job in Georgia forced me to do so. So, I actually bought my car before I actually get my driving licence. And I used my car for driver's test. I never never ever want a red car. I dont fancy red color. Well, due to some unknown reason, I ended up with a maroon colored car (well, its not that red, afterall). This is my very first car in US & life; Geogie

Okay, so with Geogie, I drove all the way to and from Georgia safely. This is not a fancy car, but I really love it. It has been accompanying me through all the ups & downs. Geogie never let me down before. There was once, it got a flat tyre. Luckily, I was not working in the countryside, or else...I dont know what to do. Not to forget, the most memorable incident: half of Geogie was in the drain! lol. That day, I was planning to make a U-turn in a sandy road. So, I did not notice a drain there, the drain was covered with a lot of greenies. I just made a U-turn slowly, and "smartly", then suddenly, Geogie's both front tyre went into the drain. This was what happened:

See? the front tyre was in the longkang (partially),and the back tyre was "hanging" in the air. I was so panicked (I took this pic to reduce my panic-ness),
and I kinda stopped a passed-by car for help. The auntie in the car was really nice. She said, she will look for someone to help me out. And I told her to please come back asap. I was so worried that she goes off without coming back.
While waiting for that auntie to come back, a SUV stopped, a woman and a kid came out from the car, and offered to help me. They take a look on my car, and they said they cant pull my car out using SUV, so they tried to think of someone to call for help.
While the woman and the kid were thinking, suddenly the first auntie came back, and she told us, that she already called an uncle to help. So, after thanking the woman & kid for stopping by, they went off, leaving me and the first auntie, waiting for the uncle to come.
While waiting for the uncle to come, suddenly a huge long black truck stopped. The truck driver offered to help. At first, we almost wanted to reject his help because we are already waiting for the uncle. But, since he is so nice, he just got off from his truck, and start pulling off a mini truck from the long truck. THE TRUCK DRIVER IS SO HANDSOME! Gosh, I never imagined before that a truck driver can be so young, handsome and hot. Anyway, he pull off a mini truck, and started to put on ropes underneath my car, then within few minutes, he successfully "save" my Geogie. He is the hero, man! A cute hottie hero. Btw, the uncle did show up. I kind of ignore him, sorry, uncle. You are not my cup of tea. lol.
After the hot truck driver saved my car, I asked for his name, but he refused to tell me, maybe he has a super hot name. I wish I can see him again someday :)

Geogie, my cute lifesaver~
