Pushing your car downhill alone…

…is no fun at all! Last night, Sara’s car broke down. The whole day it worked fine, it worked fine when I was in the curve, and I am thankful to God for that. I came back, showered, and then as I was about to go to church, the engine could not start. I got out my jumper cables from my car, and got my brother in laws help to jump the car, then I drove a grand total of 800 meters away, and the car died at an upwards slope near a traffic light. I called my brother in law, and he came over with my sister, and helped me to push the car to the side, where we finally managed to get it to start after about 20 minutes of starting. Then my sister had gone home, and my brother in law, and walked to the machanic, I was left to drive the car back to the mechanic, made a U-Turn at the traffic light, and now, going down hill, my car died again at the traffic light. Its an automatic car, so you can’t push start it, and I had to push the car down hill by myself. There was no power at all, so the power windows could not work. I had to leave the door open, and steer the car while pushing it, and at one point the car gained momentum and I was running to keep up with it, with nobody in the car and the door open!! Finally the slope ended, and i managed to push the car safely to the mechanics. He is fixing me car, and will call me later today with the quote. The item at fault? The Alternator.

On this day in History..
