It's been one of those day where you would be better going back to bed. I got up this morning, (later than I wanted too.) I was going to go wash the car before our little lunch get together. On my way up to the self wash by my house, I just about get nailed by a lady in her Cady because she wasn't looking where she was going.
After washing the car, I head down to roseville. I just got to where Hwy 10 and 610 meet. My temp gauge starts climbing FAST! just get to the bottom of the hill and the gauge is pegged, and the CE light comes on. So I start pulling over. Now the needle is shaking back and forth on the bad side of the red. SO I just shut the engine off and pull of. Get out and the Coolant reserver tank is BOILING over. Stream and smoke coming off the reserve tank. I put my hand over the Manifold, not hot. I touch it, Not even all that warm. But the car would not restart. I had to have it towed to the repair shop (Which is closed until Mon.)
I sure hope there isn't any major damage. I figure the water pump siezed up. I hope thats it, but the plastic reserve tank is melted too.
This sux cus I am already so in debt to my parents, now they have to help pay for this. And my tow to the shop cost me $95.00 I'll never be out of debt.
Sorry, RANT OFF...........
Hope you guys had fun today though. I sure wish I could have made it.
Later,
Dave
