so I'm driving back to FC from Winter Park and suddenly my RPMs go up to 5000 when I'm going 25... and then my heat cuts out... AND THEN I hear this thumping noise from my engine. so I pull over, in the freezing cold blasting wind, two miles from the last town, six miles from the next town, and I check my engine. Everything SEEMS fine but when I go to start my car it won't turn over...
So I call my dad and he says I need antifreeze and a jump. So it'll be a half hour...a half hour later he calls to say it'll be ANOTHER half hour because he went to the store to find MORE anti-freeze because my step sister only had half a bottle. By now my car is pretty cold and I have to pee really bad. So I find an empty washer fluid bottle and pee in that...and set it by my feet because theya re freezing.
My dad finally arrives and we put in the antifreeze and try to jump it but nothing happens. So we call AAA, from the next town six miles away, to have it towed, but we have to go back and get m stuff and leave the keys. So it's almost two hours now since my car died. And I'm already 12 hours late to work. They even switched my shift so I wouldn't miss any hours...well I'm starving by now so my dad buys me dinner too so I get home aroun 9 o'clock and I was scheduled til 10:30, luckily it was new years eve so there weren't many people looking to have photos developed.
Anyway, Short story long, I had to replace the water pump and the battery...it's gonna take two months of rent. Fucking cars are such a pain...then again I'm glad I got to go skiing since it had been almost a whole year.
