I broke my Festy today... :nightmare:
Friggin' snow storm hit us, I tried to get to work. The Festy was doing really good...then the highway backed up at a hilly area, and I managed to get on an exit ramp.
...but it was backed up too....
I managed to get around everyone that was stuck, going uphill no less. I had to give it pretty much gas pedal to keep it going. Was almost to the top of the hill when steam started blowing from under the hood. I looked down and the temp gage was alll the way up!
.....Ahh!
Pulled it over and it died just as I did! Restarted it, so at least it wasnt locked up.
Waited a while till it cooled down and made it to the top of the hill...where I was, wasnt a good place to be, so I got it out of danger, then, left it to get help. (I had accidentilly left my cell at home too!) Great!!!
I happened to be on a bus route! No tows available after using someone's cell to try, but the bus's were running! One came by. I took the bus~!
Got home, finally found a tow truck that could get to me with in about an hour to an hour and a half, after calling 10-12 tow companies that couldnt get to me til the next day. So I took off to rescue the festy and meet the tow at the the car.
I got it home, safe and sound, hoping I didnt hurt the swapped B6, I spent all summer painting and installing!
I think the radiator blew it's wad. At least thats what I hope it is, and not something engine related!
What a day!!!!!!!banana time
