Portia (my car) had to go to the doctor today, since she refused to drive more than 10 minutes without overheating. Worst case scenario would have been that the radiator would need replacing, which would mean no Disneyland annual pass for me. Fortunately it was best-case scenario: only one of the hoses needed replacing, so with the checkup, labor and part, it's barely over $100. Hooray for Portia, and Pep Boys!
