Title: I might be sleeping in a computer lab tonight.
Post by: T234 on April 27, 2009, 01:54:10 PM
My car is idling really rough. I put my foot halfway to the floor, and I get very little throttle response. My tailpipe sounds like a silenced machinepistol, complete with shaking. Home is 45 miles down the road. I'm afraid my car won't make it out of Lexington, much less back to WHIRLIN STERLIN, so I may be sleeping in a computer lab.

My car has been broken for a week. Radiator fluid is leaking out; we installed a nice thermostat, checked the water pipe, and a bunch of other stuff but it seems like whatever holds the fluid is cracked at the bottom. So yea, might be majorly fucked.

it's only the middle of the day.  still plenty of time to take it in someplace and get a ride home.

Are you sure you don't have a cracked engine block?

I think what I'll do is attempt to leave after a short meeting at 3:30 and see how that goes.

I think that's what it is. One of my dad's patients (who is a car repairman) is going to look at it later this week.
