| | | Two days in a row, single digit temps (yesterday's wind chill knocked it down to negatives). Two days in a row, a vehicle freezes up solid, causing it to overheat. FORTUNATELY it didn't kill my truck. Boyfriend tells me after the fact "Oh yeah, when I did the coolant flush, I just filled it with water." So I borrow his Taurus to drive today, thinking he looked it over to make sure the same didn't happen. ...it did. Just as I pull into work, steam pours out of the hood on the Taurus. Knowing what happened with my truck, I pulled it into my warehouse for the day to thaw it out. I ask him "What gives?" "Oh...there was mostly water in that" ....I can't even.....

| | | Posted by JBuss I filled it with water.... Da fuck? I just... wow
| I haven't a clue what triggered this little brainfart. Normally, he's REALLY good with cars. Granted, the Taurus one was partially because of needing more coolant in the mix... it had degraded down to less than 50/50. I can't completely fault him on that, but for fuck's sake, you were just looking at the car the night before! My truck comes from an abusive background. My dad (Also known as He Who Kills Vehicles) owned it before me and ... pretty much didn't do shit to it. When we got it, there was a quart of sludgy oil in the thing, the trans bands were stripped, the heater core was smoked, and the coolant was a disgusting shade of brown. When my dad handed it over to me, he said if we could fix it and get a summer out of it, cool. If not, no hard feelings. That was July of 2011. The one thing though, that I can't seem to drill into his head is: it's a beat, tired old work truck with nearly 200k. Not a nitro funny car. It's not gonna holeshot, it's not gonna do 0 to 60 in 2 seconds, and if it squawks the tires, it's an accident. Truck's been with me for 11 years. I know it's quirks well. I sometimes wonder if he's not secretly trying to kill it because it's outlasted two of his projects. Thankfully, it lives to run another day.
