Car basically exploded · 9:12pm Feb 25th, 2020
Well. I am sitting here, bored, waiting for the tow truck. I don't think it is my radiator, probably just. A hose, but I was just going to leave the parking lot when I started smoking, badly. I lost all of my coolant.
To answer your question, yes, I am bored so I wrote up a blog while I wait. Today's release will happen as scheduled.
Wow. Unexpected.
You're lucky you discovered it when you did.
Some months ago, I had my pump leaking and didn't fully realize it till I was on the highway. I had to pull over and, because it was on a very dangerous stretch of road, had to crawl my way to a safe area. Waited for two hours for a tow (sadly, not the longest I've waited).
Just recently, this time at home, I discovered that my radiator was slowly leaking coolant. That just got replaced.

I am. A year and a half ago we redid my water pump and heater core, which had all gone to pieces. I was not far from home, but far enough I couldn't have walked and it was back country roads. My dad rescued me there. Also replaced the belts cause it leaked all over them. It's 2002 Xterra and I'm over 200k miles. She has done her job. I was just about to make a turn and I was heading for the highway.
