Yesterday I was 3500 miles into the 9th day of what was supposed to be a 10 day road trip stopped at a distillery in Lawrenceburg KY and coolant was running out. Open the trunk and see it's bubbling through the reservoir cap.

Closest dealer is in Louisville, so I your the distillery to let it cool down a bit. Then I head out, keeping a watchful eye on the temperature. In the middle of nowhere, it spikes up to max. I immediately pull over and call for help.

Sheriff arrives 15 minutes later, and I wait another 45 for the tow truck. The tow to Louisville cost $270, and the a/c quit 20 miles away. Got to the dealer 15 minutes before they closed.
The finance man gave me a ride to the airport to rent a car. I am driving a Nissan Note

Hope they can get it fix tomorrow and it's "minimal" $.

Big things! Got some spill over from Cars & Coffee at my place this weekend. Drove that 2009 Viper SRT 10, turned the A3 over to 200,000 miles and realized the Box is the best all around car I've ever owned.






...and caught this guy trying to get out of the heat!
