Driving home from work. Bumper to bumper on roads that only Windsor could plow so poorly when... I notice my temperature gauge is approaching the red zone! Oh, wait, it gets better... something catches my eye on the opposite side of the dashboard. It's a rapidly blinking ABS light! It's bright red and going, ABS, ABS, ABS... ad infinitum! So what eh? It's just my brakes, just my engine, no biggie!
It's only Christmas week. What would I need brakes and an engine for? So what if I'm on slick roads in front of Windsor's only Mall with 20,000 cars all trying to get to shopping or home from shopping? Stress? What stress. As it turned out, I did stop when I braked, what more could I ask for? It was kind of like a skipping stone, but I stopped. (eventually.)
I did make it to my neighbourhood where instead of turning right onto my street I went straight for one more then turned right into my auto mechanic's lot! So, my Grand Am is there until further notice!
Oh and I forgot I had 2 turkeys and a ham in the trunk, they're still there, at the auto repair shop, in the trunk of my car. I called Peter and asked him to leave the car outside for the night, I'll go get the turkeys and ham tomorrow morning.
