good afternoon everybody,<br /><br />yes, my first trip to town with my girls was a lot of fun...but I made the mistake of going back, but thankfully I was by myself.<br /><br />I really hope to have a quiet day today.  I had 1 too many &quot;Adventures In Driving&quot; for me yesterday&#33;  that is why I wasn&#39;t very chatty yesterday.<br />Long stories...but aren&#39;t they all, so I will really do my RD versions.<br /><br />I was in Wal-mart&#39;s parking lot stuck in traffic waiting for a car ahead of me to pull out so another car could get its spot.  BTW, I am in the ITTY BITTY Honda...and I am ideling (sp) right behind this huge SUV.  And a couple of car links behind me is another car waiting for a car to back out to get its spot.  So basically I am not going anywhere.  and all of a sudden this HUGE SUV starts to back out on me&#33;  <b>I KID YOU NOT&#33;</b>  I had no idea there was anyone in the car, much less fixin to leave.<br />So I think, It&#39;s Ok they will see me and stop...yeah right, they can&#39;t see me&#33;  I barely come over their bumper&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; I have my window rolled down, he got so close to me before he stopped I could touch his back bumper&#33;  The only reason he stopped was I started honking the horn and someone started yelling at him&#33;  AGAIN, I thank God I was by myself because after this adventure I left and I  had my next....  but had he hit me I wouldn&#39;t had had the next...<br /><br />Coming home on the interstate in 5:00 traffic, all of sudden I saw the temp gauge shoot up.  I got off on the side of the road (in my ITTY BITTY car again LOL) and called Hubby.  He comes and what has happened is some kind of stress crack leading to the radiator had allowed coolant to escape.  It had lost enough to overheat but I noticed it and shut it down before it got too hot and didn&#39;t hurt the engine.<br />But for awhile I was on the side of the interstate just praying I wasn&#39;t going to be hardly a grease spot if I got hit. <br />and I do have to brag on my itty bitty car.  It has left me in a couple of jams lately but it does have over 230,000 miles on it.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":smile:" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />HI to everybody and have a great day&#33;<br /><br />
