So I'm driving home at roughly 8:30 this morning...Just cruising down 72 with cruise control on, xm radio on , Maxi asleep in the back seat. ...Planning my day as soon as I get home. Gonna wash the car, do grocery shopping etc..................And then the car hesitates....hesitates again. I look at the temperature control and its on "H"....H people!!! That means nothing but trouble..I pulled over immediately on a very teeny shoulder and turn it off and smoke comes out from under the hood......This care is only a few weeks old!!! Its got less than1000 miles on it and here the damn thing sits..............smoking....So, I call AAA ...oh yeah, Maxi and I both have to use the bathroom...as we sit there with all the damn cars not moving into the left lane, only missing me by a few inches. I flipped off a few. The want to know exactly where I am...Have you ever been on 72 between Chattanooga and Huntsville.....Not a lot of markers. The GPS helps some and I'm cursing myself for not studying it more. The first person I spoke with said 40 minutes which would have been around 9:15 am.
I called Zoot. I was only about 30 miles away from Huntsville (we figured it out after she got there). She got there before the tow truck. He showed up around 10 and was the nicest guy. He was so sweet and of course, for once in my life, carrying the AAA Plus paid off. It payed completely for the tow back into Huntsville to the Honda dealer Which of course is exactly where it sits, and I'm sitting on Zoots couch watching football.
Zoot keeps telling me that "things like this happen" no I "don't have a lemon". They'll fix it, its completely covered under warranty. I'm calm but pissed off. It could have happened in a lot worse places etc. It could have exploded. (Of course I don't know that it didn't) and Maxi and I could have been killed sitting that close to the hwy so.........I'm trying and we'll see what tomorrow does to me when they let me know if it can be fixed, when and when th heck I can get home. I took tomorrow off to take Maxi to the vet to get his stitches out and get my laundry done. grrrrrrr. But at least it was a scheduled day off. I'll know tomorrow if I'll need Tuesday too..........grrrr....
OH NOOOOO!
Im glad you guys are safe......it will be fixed, dont worry.....everything happens for a reason ( I know thats lame to say, but it helps me when things are out of my hands)

What a pain in the butt. I agree. At this point that car should not be having a problem!

Oh, my. Listen, Molly, try to NOT take that car back. It is a lemon. Get ready to sue. Be tough. They don't want to mess with no tough lady.
