Steam Coming Out Your Car Can't Be Good

by Erica

My sister came out for a visit this weekend. We had a few 'Kodak Moments' but never had the camera with us.

Well, we had the perfect picture oppertunity today in Boulder. We would have taken a picture, but the camera was left in my car which was on the tow truck. As we arrived in the lower level of the parking garage we quickly became aware that it was my car that smelled really bad(and I tried to blame it on the Audi in front of me) and steam was coming out of the hood. My first reaction-PANIC-my car is going to explode. Was it really going to explode? No. Second thought-why did this have to happen in a parking garage? How is the world is a tow truck going to get down here? After direction from Jason, we called for a tow truck. We were 'stranded' on Pearl Street in Boulder. Not too bad of a place to get stuck. We just shopped until they got there.

The Patherfind will be okay. It just needs a new radiator. I am thankful that the car was drivable and we were able to get out of the garage on our own. I was thankful that my sister was with me for my first ride in a tow truck! I am also thankful to have friends who let me borrow their extra car-thanks Steve and Pauline!
