I don't get it i was driving along going about 20 when my engine went crazy and started to sound like a helicopter. I pulled over to see if i hit something or a flat. I got out and checked each tire...nothing there. When i walked in front of my car i could tell it was the engine. I popped the hood and it smelled like coolant. I got back in and tapped the acceleration and thats when the sound came again. I freaked out and drove back home. My dad checked it and said don't drive it anymore. This stupid car has had so many problems and my minimal wage job cant afford it i might as well buy a new car instead of a new engine but since my parents bought it for me i cant. I don't know what to do cuz now i have no car to drive for college unless i borrow my moms van which i really don't want to do. Help!
