What Have I Done?

This too is a pretty old blog. It's in memory of my long gone Mazda 626. Here's the story of how I made her terminal.

Original Blog Date: Monday, November 28, 2005

I am dropping off a friend (the first time I've ever not been driven by her) and I notice my car is over heating...and by that I mean I noticed the little lever was pointed to H....so I turned off the car and asked her for water and something to open the cap with....She (sweet unknowing child) goes to get the hose and I walkie-talkie the little runt I fondly know as my brother, on my Nextel CRAP Phone!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, he's poured water in the radiator thingy before so I asked him (so as not to alarm my rents at this time of night) I ask him "there are two tanks; BLACK or WHITE?" he says "...Black long strip..." I understood that as the black tank...he also added it would be best to pour antifreeze rather than water...SO I check my trunk and I got me some ANTIFREEZE...(which will be a problem later)...and I uncap the BLACK tank...........I pour the antifreeze...having recently watched my father pour water into someone else's radiator thing-a-majig, I realize it was not full...SO I radio the runt AGAIN and he agrees it should be full to the brim (his sorry ass is out somewhere thinking I had followed his damn directions correctly) so my friend and I start pouring water from the hose into this tank and after what seems like an era...we finally got it to pour over... so we cap it and I go to start the car and leave when we hear the car sound like it's gargling Scope! I jumped out of the car and left it running! Then we see that BLACK water is coming out of my car so I think (as retardedly as possible) BURNT WATER! Houston we have a PROBLEM! Well, turns out, for those of you who already know where this shit is going, I filled my engine with water and antifreeze and ran it through the entire system for like 2 minutes!!!!!!!! Needless to say I was towed and my engine is likely to be a total loss! Is this a sign that I'm not supposed to go away to Orlando? I hope not... Anyway, funny story but truly traumatizing....I know where the water goes now!
