Wrecked 3 times, has been totaled twice, but still drives
Oh well, so much for my Jeep.
While moving, I was driving a truck with trailer as wife followed in my Jeep. Unfortunately, she did not tell me it was overheating until she called me and the following is the narrative:
ring ring (cell phone)
Brat: Yeah?
Bratkeeper: We better stop for gas soon.
Brat: As soon as I find a Mobil.
Bratkeeper: Well, the Jeep is getting hot.
Brat: How hot?
Bratkeeper: The needle thingy is at the top of the red, as far as it will go I think, and it is trying to die.
Brat: Oh S**t, dangit all to heck (or something like that) :angry:
so we pull into the the Shamrock at the intersection where this conversation took place.
Long story short (or at least not as long as it could be), the inside of the cooling system smelled like a house fire, and the engine is left with maybe 1/4 the compression it should have and it barely starts.
Fried like a Sunday mornin' egg
So if yall have a mind too, say a little prayer for ole PB, maybe it will help me find another vehicle ???
