The Trouble With My Car

So, my car is stupid. Well that is if it was sentient, it would be stupid.

Ok, I'll stop.

My car is overheating. It started yesterday as I was heading to work. Just all of a sudden, I look down at the gauges and see the damn red light shining back at me from the dashboard. Now, I've been in my share of crappy cars in my life. I know what to do when this happens: I blast the heater, slow down, and head for a spot to pull over.

So I'm sitting. And sitting. Nothing.

Usually the heater relieves some of the well, heat. Not working. I checked the coolant levels like two weeks ago, so it I know that its all good there. The car has been running slightly hotter than normal. I probably should have taken the car in then, but whatever.

After it cools down some by just waiting, I begin my now slow drive to work. It doesn't overheat, its seems fine.

One the way back, the car gets near the red light again. Fuck. I pull over somewhere in Lewisville. It takes a while for it to cool down because of the afternoon sun. Eh.

So after sitting there for a while like the dude in the pic above, I finally got home.

The good news is that I took today off to go get it looked at, the bad news is that I gotta pay for it.


Eh.
