JULY 14, 2011- I BLEW OUT MY CARS ENGINE..
ok,, what a day it was a hot blustering day in SO CAL and I just got off work, and started my daily cruise on the NASCAR 15 - one of the fastest freeways you can drive on in So cal or Nevada. Especially the Vegas trip I do on a annual or more basis to watch Manny Pacman fights.. but back to the story.. I'm in my sup ed up 4 banger American made muscle car.. Camaro, I wish... Ok.. freakin sports model Saturn L 200.. this car can move ,, but in this hot afternoon, going up the many hills on my way to TEMECULA VALLEY , I was surprised when in the fats lane at 85 MPH .. I suddenly went to 35 mph.. and I no longer had power when i stepped on the gas.. So , like a freaking idiot ,, while I'm driving , I switched ( dont ever do this!!) to second gear and drove it off the freeway and pulled to the side.. I had a decision to make , either call a two truck and wait in that suffering heat, or stick the car in second and drive that sucker all the way home.. Guess what i did ? Yup,, I drove that car up the hills , and while the car is overheating and I'm putting along at the speeds of 25-35 mph.. cars blazing by , flicking me off , honking horns.. giving me the stairs, but i don't care , my goal is to drive this car home no matter what and no matter what cost..
Well , I finally make it home , but the damage is done.. the car can no longer run in first gear and the engine light is on.. and to be honest the engine sounds like shit.. What now,,? you say.. Well I decide to call Junkmycar, have then pick it up and still waiting for my payment.. what a story huh? well it was kind of scary , when it happened and to be honest its better it happened to me than to my lovely wife or young inexperienced son.. Lessons learned.. yea,, if you live in the mountainous , high hills of Temecula Valley , you need a 6 cylinder car,, 4 bangers , well good on gas,, but the wear and tear and lack of comfort on long drives will make you tired.. So now , My daily driver is my SUPERCHARGED ELECTRIC BLUE 4X4 NISSAN FRONTIER , WITH FANCY WHEELS AND BOOMING TO THE BEAT STEREO.. I feel more relaxed and safer than that Honda looking Saturn that exploded on me on the freeway.. Only I , could have such a experience,., until my next episode of my life,,. Take Care driving..
