My husband had a company travel last weekend, so I have to drive my car to 4S store to have a maintenance. As I don’t know anything about cars, my husband wrote a note to help me (to) remember what I should do. He complained that the car did not go straight from when we brought it last year. We had checked wheels and tyres for this reason, but he still could not feel satisfied and even thought about changing it. At last I didn’t have any patience to discuss with him, and he realised it was all in his mind.
