Car...
I have not forgotten about posting pictures from my trip to New Mexico! Other things came up, like my car stalling (3 times!) last Wednesday as I was on my way home to leave for said trip. ~_~ It sat in the parking lot for about a week.
Last night, Jeff and I drove it around the apartment complex. It didn't stall. I noticed that after it stalled last week, a funny smell came from under the hood. I also had to almost completely fill up the coolant. Jeff suggested that my problems could be due to overheating. I hadn't noticed the thermostat when it stalled last week, so I made sure to keep my eye on it on my way to work this morning. My commute is not flat at all. The temperature was fine until I started going up a big hill. By the time I reached the nearest offramp, the car had started to overheat. Luckily, there was an easy place to pull into off the side of the road.
Nothing exploded! Phew!! There was a leak in one of the hoses near the water pump. Annoying, but luckily will cost less than the last car ordeal.
