    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

    haha good story. almost reminds me when I ran out of gas 4 blocks away from the gas station. It was an uphill so no pushing. Had some alcohol in my trunk and poured it into my gas tank, started no problem

              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.
