THE CAR!
..yes, my car broke down. After driving me around for 1 month, it freaked. As I was driving to my loverly cousin Amber's house [on monday] I was getting off the freeway and as I stoped at the light i noticed that either Steam or Smoke was rapidly coming out from under my hood. Lucky for me Ambers house was right around the corner.
I let the car cool down for 2 hours before i went out and checked it again. It was still really hot and steaming so i called my dad. After the three of us girls looking under the hood for about ten min. we found out that the fans weren't turning...
Then I called my uncle Craig and he talked to dad and it was decided that i was to take my car to my uncles macanic the next morning.
The next day as i was driving to meet Craig at the car shop [all the while hopeing my car wouldn't explode], I got pulled over...yes, pulled over. The insanly happy cop started talking to me and said he pulled me over because of the cracks in my windsheld and that those aren't allowed. He took my info and went back to his car. After talking to me for another little while, he gave me a verbal warning to get it repaired. I told him that i was on my way to go get my car fixed and that i would tell my dad about the windsheld.
After dropping my car off I hung out with my uncle and the family. Around 7 p.m. we found out that he didnt even look at my car yet but would get it in the morning [this was wednesday]. As Alexis was driving me home i realized that i didnt have my house key! I left in on my car key for the repair guy. Lucky for me my roommate was home.
The next morning the repair guy said that my car needed a new radiator so he got to work on that. After a long day driving back and forth with my cousins and aunt around town, we finally got a call around 6 p.m. my car was finished!
Standing at the counter waiting to pay the 300 + dollars for my car my uncle asked if my car has AC. I happily answered, "yup! it sure does" the macanic said, "uh no you don't" looking at him i said, " well I had it up until monday when it over heated" and he went on to tell me it wasnt possible
SO after not having my car for 4 days i picked it up, drove it home and my dad and i fixed my AC :)
