well today was an adventure. I almost set my car on fire. I was about two blocks from the body shop when my girlfriend and I notice a strong a s s smell in the car. At first i was like damn i drove my car a little too hard and thats why i have that smell, but then the smell got strong and i started getting light headed. so i turned down the air conditioning and was like who cares it can't be my car. the light turned green and i gave the car some gas and noticed it bogged down like a B@tch. I was like wtf?? so i pulled off the road, hopped out, and popped the hood. to my suprise i find the hose to the fuel filter had exploded and was spraying fuel all over the place. first thing that came into my mind was that this is when the engine explodes and i die with my car. when that didn't happen i decieded that it would be a good time for me to shut the motor off and push the car away from the pool of gas. luckly the shop i took it to was right next door to a mechanic, and the owner changed the hose for 25 bucks. so my car is now waiting till monday when i call the guy to tell him what color i want it. thank god that fuel didn't exploed. i guess it wasn't my cars time to go...
