    Close call

    I was driving on Ortega highway out of the Lake Elsinore area this afternoon, I then noticed that my temperature gauge was a needle length away from red, I pulled over and popped the hood to find that the lower radiator hose had a hole in it. fml. Driving the highway was scarey and sketchy as hell to begin with but this added a whole new element of anxiety and repeatedly saying "Fuuuuuuuuuck!"

    But, thankfully I found some electrical tape in the glove box and was able to patch up the tube. Then I asked the friends I was with to sacrifice their water bottles to my car, but the whole 16 oz we had and small amount of spare coolant I left in the trunk wasn't gonna cut it. So the only thing I could do was call tipple A and tow this bitch.. oh wait, no fucking signal because we're in the middle of a damn mountainous road in hell's asshole.

    As I look over the side of the turnout I stopped at, lo' and behold, there's a small river running parallel to us! Grabbed the empty coolant bottle and ran down there. Filled up the coolant reservoir and turned that dirty slut back on, check for leaks; none.

    Go home feeling like a fuckin' boss.


    Car piss

              until the crap in the creek water oxidizes in your cooling system and clogs everything up and you have to pressure flush your block.

                    Honestly, they should make a movie out of this and title it 'Who Needs Tipple A?'

                          if my gauge ever looked like that I wouldn't even turn my car off, I'd just start crying and keep driving.
