OH.MY.GOD.
So, Monday was a mess. My car was SMELLING. And then I started seeing...I don't know if it was smoke. So my stepdad told me to take it in to see what's wrong. (I'm away from home at college.)
So, Tuesday, I do that. They pull up my record from another Tires Plus back home and there were recommendations. $900 worth (and 5.5 hours). I didn't understand; let him talk to my stepdad. He said he would need to check the car because this was just what was recommended; they hadn't seen my car yet.
So, I got a ride to work and left the car.
My stepdad calls, tells me what it is and that my car is ready, so my supervisor takes me to the shop and I pick it up. It was some cooling thing. Don't ask me. I don't really know. $27. Cool.
Lalala... Wednesday! WEEE! I know where to park for my 10:30 class. (I've already bitched about this.) So, I leave at 9:30.
I get out of the apartment complex and go into the turning lane on the main road (like right off from my building). Brakes. Green light, gas. MY CAR IS NOT MOVING!
I'm freaking the shit out. Waving cars to go around. Calling my mom. Bawling. I don't know what to do! My stepdad is asking questions. I don't know the answers really. Says go to the gas station and ask if they can tow. Station is pretty much, right there. I do it. Two college kids working. They haven't a clue. My mom says find a cop. LUCKILY, one was right there.
I'm BAWLING as I wave him over, trying to tell him what's up and trying to stop crying. He takes me over to the car and I show him what's up. He calls Parking Services for gas. That guy comes, we go to the station and get 1.5 gallons. Come back. I start the car after we put it in. Nada. Cop goes, press the gass while you start the car. I'm confused, but okay. (Freaked me out..that sound.) TA DA! She works!
I thank them.
I park. I get to class at 10:45. UGH! WTF.
So, I go to work, which is on-campus but still gotta drive. This this stops like 5 times. But I know how to work it. Turn off, then turn on and hit gas. Luckily, no real traffic.
Work for 5 hours.
And I gotta get to the gas station. She still stops, but again, no real traffic. And she stops when I hit the brakes. So at lights. So I can turn off and turn on when it goes green.
I make it. Call my stepdad and he tells me to buy clearer. I do that. Put it in. Fill up my tank. Can him back, he says how's it. Good.
WOW. Never happened to me before. I RAN OUT OF FUCKING GAS. Are you shitting me.
*deep breath*
I'm good.
I'm going home 2 hours away from school tomorrow. She's okay. No more smell. Gas tank filled. Good girl.
