Hey guys,
So last night I was driving on a highway and all of a sudden my car stopped working... I wasn't sure what had happened and even though inside I was panicing, I remained calm and somehow managed to pull myself out of the second lane into the first and drove into some parking lot. The highway was packed with bumper to bumper traffic, and it must have been sheer luck because for 20 seconds there was no car directly behind me or to my right, and that's how I managed to pull myself into a parking lot. Phew!
The power steering had somehow locked it self and was making it very difficult for me to steer the car but I managed to somehow park in 2 handicapped spots, sideways for a good 20-30 mins, haha.. until Koeun and his brother got there. They looked at the engine only to find that the main belt, ya know the one that runs the alternator and a bunch of other stuff, had snapped in half. Also the water pump has seized, just my luck!
As if these events weren't bad enough, it was at night, around 8:00PM so it was dark out AND it was raining, well it was drizzling but still, it was so bad!!! Then we called AAA and got a tow-guy to tow my car, he seemed kinda mean at first but then after talking to him, I found out that he's been working a 3 day shift, with nothing but cat-naps... that sucks bad for him =( ... So we had the car towed to my mom's house, and put it in the garage. This way, by next weekend or so, I will order the parts it needs and Koeun said he will work on my car ... hopefully next weekend.
I could sell my car after that but I might just use it again for a while, I do kinda like it... but I still LOVE my old convertible, wish I still had it! Oh well... so now I'm thinking I will have to get a ride to work or so for a while cause I can't ride my bike on the highway... I only have to go to school one night a week, so I might have to ride my bike to school. Fun fun... :/
Well that's my life right now I guess, talk to you guys later, if I find a pic of my old convertible, I will def. post it up!
