I took a trip to PA to see our best acquaintance get married last summer. It was the most charming anniversary I have ever seen. On the way back I had to kneel in traffic in the middle of NY City plus while sitting in traffic the temperature gauge kept rising plus I didn’t think what was happening at first so I panicked plus pulled off the next exit I saw plus pulled into McDonald’s parking lot right off the exit. I sat for a moment, unsure of what to do. Was I able to drive home, which was another numerous hours away? Did I have to wait it out, for how long? I had no idea, but all I knew is that our car was undoubtedly exhausted plus needed to rest for at least a few minutes. The different area was, I could drive our car separate from the temperature gauge rising as long as I was really driving – the hour I got stuck in the smallest bit of traffic was when the temperature gauge would beginning to rise again, but eventually after waiting it out for a short while, I decided to get back on the road plus see what happens; if I had to keep pulling over here plus there, so be it, was our thought process. I ended up making it cabin plus took our car to the mechanic the next afternoon – turns out, our car was low on engine coolant plus our car was overheating. I had no plan plus I had never diagnosed it prior to this happening in the four years I had owned the car. The mechanic topped off our coolant plus just told myself and others to keep an eye on it. Thankfully it was nothing more extreme because that could’ve been a absolutely luxurious fix.
