well, i think my car is beginning to go.......while driving home from daycare, I notice the A/C is gone, then look at the temp gauge which is all.the.way.to.the.right and the red 'warning' light is on.

luckily, I was 2 miles from home, but at the stoplight (which I made an illegal left on) TONS of steam starts pouring out of the hood.

Ben points to it from the back seat and keeps going "Uh oh! UH OH! Mommy Car! Uh Oh! Oh no! Oh No!! Mommy car HOT!! Oh NOO!!!"

off to call AAA and tow it to Pep Boys. I hope its just a water pump....

I hope its just the belt and waterpump, but its def pushed the thinking on a replacement car for me from "sometime in the near future" to "soon"

I hope things aren't too bad. I like Ben's commentary though.

we'll see tomorrow! Ben was fascinated by the tow truck and kept saying "Mommy car SICK!" I think he's on his way to becoming a mechanic :P

Car troubles have been going around lately. I feel your pain.

yeah, my next door neighbor just killed 3 of his 5 cars, so I think it IS catching!

heh....that's kind of what Judd said! I think it was my waterpump and then the belt....I"m just hoping that I didn't warp a cylinder..
