Car exploded...
14 years ago
General
Driving home from the dentist on Friday my car overheated and blew itself up. It's terminal. The head gasket blew, the head is warped, and three of the four cylinders filled with water. The car is 9 years old, and hasn't given me a bit of serious trouble until now, but now I'm borrowing my dad's extra car to be able to go on with my life. It's likely I'll be buying that car from him.
Naturally, this is within weeks of both my next rent and my mandatory layoff time from work. I've no idea what's going to happen next; just gotta save money as much as I can.
Commissions are still going. I'm going to try to stream tonight.

Oh it died with more a whimper than a bang, and there was ample time for me to get off the road.

Damn dude. Teh suck. My car blew a gasket last year, although the head was only just out of tolerance specs, it was better if I got another one. Or another car. I hunted around for a 2nd hand manifold and had a friend install it for me. If I didn't have the cheap rate from my friend, I would have been without a car also.
