My car is dead!

So my car died on me yesterday when I was about 45 minutes from home 🙁 I was on a very busy street with very heavy traffic waiting at a red light; it turned green, I put my foot on the gas pedal, and suddenly there's steam pouring out from under the hood and the temperature gauge skyrockets, and my car starts stalling. I was very luckily right next to a gas station, so I was able to pull into there before it died completely (if it had died totally while on that road it probably would have caused an accident).

So I turn off the car and pop the hood, and my brother goes to look at it.

The radiator exploded. As in, quite literally, part of it burst out and there's a rather large hole in it right under the cap for it.

So we get the car pushed into an actual parking space, and I call my mom to get the number for our roadside assistance thing, and then call and they order a tow truck for us so we can get my car home. The truck was supposed to take 45 minutes.

It took four hours for it to get there.

And now I have to pay to get my radiator replaced, which will probably cost me a couple hundred dollars, and I have no way of getting anywhere until my car is fixed! And since it happened so suddenly, I'm just really hoping there's not some larger problem that caused it to just burst like that. Because that would be bad.

I want my car fixed cry

Poor you. weep

My car is hanging on by a thread to. 🙁

This is the first problem I've ever had with this car...stupid thing always ran absolutely perfectly until yesterday.

Do you treat your car bad b/c if you don't feed him gasoline everyday and wash him off he will do sh*t like that.

😐

That really sucks. I'm sorry, Lana! Hopefully everything will be ok with it after this!! My mom's car is so old it's kinda falling apart! 😂

my god that sucks ❌

Damn. Hope you get your ride repaired, or get another one that won't explode. I know the feeling, though. When I was in the Army, stationed at Ft. Hood, Texas, me and my buddies rode in my car, a '97 Pontiac Firebird, to go to 6th Street in Austin. We had a night of debauchery, alcohol, sluts, and some recreational substances. Suffice to say, we had a lot of fun. BTW, in case some you are wondering, yes, we had a designated driver....................he only drank light beer. Anyway, as we're making the 70+ minute trek from Austin to Killeen (the city where Ft. Hood is located) my goddamn fuel injector goes out on my Firebird. We were stranded for about 90 minutes before the tow truck we called came, only after it began to rain cats & dogs about 45 minutes earlier. We had to pool all of our remaining money together to get a taxi to come get us and when we finally get back to Killeen, one of the rear tires on my car pops. Truly, it was the cherry on top of a wild night. BTW, it cost me over $200 to get my car fixed. I traded it in 2 weeks later for a Ford Focus hatchback.

Poor Twinkie...

Boobies should be currency.

Why is that, exactly? 😛 Contrary to popular belief, the Focus Hatchback is very spacious and comfortable to men of tall and large stature like me. As much as I would have loved to have owned a "Manly" Ford F-150, the Red Tick, as I lovingly called it, did it's job beyond expectation.

Behold the Red Tick:
