i love that i am still having some fun times driving my car... here's today's...
2:45, bell rang, and we were finally done with the day.
me and jenny were on our way home and about to turn left on to carpintero...
just as we turn on...
putt putt putt
i push on the accelerator and the car barely starts to coast...
uh oh
try again... still the 5mph coast.
so we coasted down all the way down carpintero at 5mph with the emergency lights on to keep people from becoming angry and honking and doing mean gestures. i even rolled through the stop sign out of fear that the car might stop if i put on the brakes. we get to ponderosa, about to turn left and
putt putt putt pphhhh...
dead...
nothing
about 20 yards away from home, all ready to turn left, and the car just dies.
so with the help of a friendly stranger (who first offered candy, which i gladly accepted, before he offered help), mi amigas jillian and jenny, we got the car pushed into my driveway.
my gas light had only been on for a day... maybe 2... and i know the limits of my car rather well, so i guess this time i got caught off guard and learned a valuable lesson... actually, i can't think of a lesson learned...
i've just got a funny story now
:)
poor car...
i'll make it up to him
