My car has been squealing because I need new belts-the serpentine belt and my super belt. My car also tried to overheat on me so I tried my best to curtail the climbing engine temperature by turning the heat on as high as it would go to draw heat away from the engine. It works and I want all of you chillen to remember to do that if your car begins to overheat. I went to work today and I was outside almost ALL day resulting in a sunburn. I had to re-arrange alot of cars and I was lucky to have some of the salesmen to help me. When I checked my coolant I realized that I could see the bottom of my top plastic coolant bottle. So I put water in it after it had cooled. My mom just happened to call me and ask if I wanted to go to lunch with her and I accepted because she was lonely at work and I didn't want to drive or spend money. So I got Chik-fil-a and I got to ride and eat in AC. (Very rare these days) After I got back and moved more cars, I ordered my belts and they were delivered within the hour. That's the beauty of working for a dealership. I get a set of belts retailing at $145 for $90 and cheap labor. But....the belts are much better and I get more power. AND my supercharger sounds great with the new belts. But alas, I must drain my coolant tank and add the correct coolant, get an AC compressor and wash my car before I can really love it again. We are going through a rough time.
But on another note, I am very excited about college. It is almost just 13th grade because I have summer reading and an alcohol education class online. But it is 13th grade away from home. I have dreams about college and so far they have been all good. I hope that means that college will be good to me. As well as all my peers and friends going off to college this year.
