Fun Short Drive

[jeepskater433]

Took the wag out to get some gas and drive around for a bit, but my trip was shortly ended. I got to the gas station and as I pulled up to the pump I started to see smoke come out from under the hood, so of course, I cut it off and was ready to jump out and start pushing it away from the pump if worse came to worse. Luckily though when I got out I smelled burning coolant, as I opened the hood, I cold see coolant dripping down and hitting the exhaust, so I took a chance, filled it up with gas, and drove it home(less than 2 miles away) by the time I got home it was smoking pretty bad, but nothing I didnt expect, as I walked into the garage where it was parked, I found the problem, and mess

I thought you got rid of the waggy's. Everytime I turn around something needs to be worked on but it keeps it interesting.

I did, and I wasnt planning on buying another until I finished school, but my friend who bought this one off of me gave me a good deal if I bought it back from him, so I did. And yea theres always something that makes it fun

It's always the short drives that spur much needed maintenance. Glad you caught it in time.
