I was driving home from school, I was about to leave my friends neighborhood after dropping him off at home but I was stopped by a bus. I pulled my mp3 player out to connect it to my car stereo when I smelled a funny smell. I looked out the windshield and there was this white smoke/steam coming from everywhere. Underneath the car, around the hood, the front of the car, then it started coming in through the A/C vents. I jumped out at first thinking the car was on fire after putting it into park and shutting it off. After about a minute, in an attempt to allow it to cool off, popped the hood open and noticed water everywhere and the coolant tank where the antifreeze or water was completely empty. AAA was absolutely great after I finally got ahold of my parents since I didn't have my AAA card with me. I had to get towed to a service station near my house. Turns out the gasket that connects the hose from the coolant tank to the engine (or i think thats how the guy explained it) had like blown in half. I was especially excited about the $330 bill that came along with it but I kind of need my car so I had to suck it up. This was kinda a blow to me since I'm only 16 and even though I do work that is pretty much most of one paycheck which I would usually pay my car payment with. I was told however I was smart how I handled it, as I could have burned my engine up. Thankfully that didn't happen.
Other than that I love Dodge :]
