I was on the freeway north of LA today, driving to my swordfighting class, when my car started to make a funny noise (the check engine light never came on, though.) Then I heard a pop and felt the car shudder: assuming I'd blown a tire, i pulled over and got out to check. All tires good. Hmmm... Pop the hood...
Crap.
There's smoke rising from a part of the engine.
Call AAA. Get tow truck. No open repair places.
Rental car? only at the airport 20 miles away.
Metrolink? Last one ran 40 minutes ago.
The bus! I only have a credit card.
Tow truck driver drops my car off at repair shop with a night drop-off slot in the door, so I leave my name, phone number, and key. He drops me off at a nearby Denny's so I could be safe while trying to find a way home.
So...yeah. My car is stranded in LA, goodness knows what's wrong with it.
Ugh.
*needs a hug. And several stuff drinks*
