Joda

(Machine, France)

Citroën C4 Picasso, bought on 02-IV-2021.. Sky blue, doesn't have several nice options, of which I'd only like to have the swiveling headlights, the rest doesn't matter much.

The nickname (reads as Yoda, and means exactly that, in serbian) came from three reasons: first, I had a temporary filling in my tooth that week when I got the new tags for it (around 26-V-2021.) and I felt iodine (jod, in serbian) in my mouth all week; second, it got a JD in the tags, and third, it somehow does the jedi trick of forcing the truck or tractor in front of it to take a turn so I don't have to overtake it.

Two months after the purchase I was still not able to find out what's wrong. I'm happy, the seller happy, everybody at home is happy, there's nothing wrong with the car... what's the catch? Perhaps the AC? But then I just filled it once and it kept working all summer.

After two and a half years, costs (new tires; replacing rear left brake which ate itself; new grille for the AC, the rear right door which I dented) came to 1000€. That's what I estimated it would cost me the first year.
