Story Time

Well since I can't sleep you're all going to pay. Anywho, I thought I'd just post about something that happened to me today.

My uncle lend me the car to go to work today. On the way I smelt something odd. I didn't think anything of it since I live in Chicago. So I kept driving, about a block away from my job I see white smoke coming out of the hood. Then I notice the little dial for the overheating thing is all the up. The damn car is overheating like nuts. I turn the heat on with no luck. I make it to the parking lot, I just think it will be better later. Don't ask me why I thought this.

So I'm driving home about 5 minutes away, I smell something again. Of course it was the same thing as before but I didn't put two and two together at the time. Logic: 2 Me: 0. I'm driving down my street and I see god damn white smoke again. Well, no problem I'm almost home except at the Congress (a theater by my house) is having a show and it has no damn parking lot. Plus I live in Chicago and anyone that lives in Chicago knows finding a good parking spot is like finding a STD free whore. Back to the story right at my corner where my house is about ten feet away my car dies. Not stalls but it * dies. And having about three people behind me didn't help either. So I put it in nertual and push it. Which is suprisely easy to me. There was hydrant(sp) right in front of my house thankfully so I push it towards the spot and while pushing it in the spot the theory of gravity comes in to play and it starts too fast for comfort. So trying to not to bash a car infront of the spot I cut the wheel so it goes right into the curb. I call my uncle and told him what happens.

Diagnosis: The coolant system has a leak and whatever coolant was in there turned into a crust. It's going to get fixed this week. So that's my story.

Here's a summary of my story if your too lazy to read it.
