Awesome, after a great weekend at watching XDC dallas something had to go wrong, heres the story for some entertainment, About two days before I headed out my car started to tap (no i did not take the corolla to dallas haha)... so i was thinking okay no big deal, time to get valves adjusted so i coasted as much as i could home, oil was fine for the record... i hope my oil pump wasn't going out... sure enough... it did, i was driving down 225E and the whole cabin of the car filled with smoke!! and THEN my phones service just abruptly stops working.... LUCKILY I visited my friend who informed me my oil pump went out, he came fifteen minutes later (its like he knew hahaa) so... yes i did this... started the car, limped it (about 55mph) all the way home, smoke stretching across the freeway, i bet TxDOT wouldn't have liked that very much... and then car dies again, soooooooooooooooooo my friends honda towed me the rest of the way hahaha, awesome weekend, how was yours?
