Of all the stupid things to do! I wanted a treat so I went to Starbucks. Of course, its the only Starbucks open for miles because they have a good drive-thru I guess. So I got in line where you get out of line. That is- the LINE wrapped all the way around the building! Well, I got the drinks, BUT stuck in the line, my car started to overheat! The temperature needle was above half, and it usually sits right below. I have a history of this with another car; with that one, once the needle went above half, it would go all the way to "H"! I'd have to either turn the car off or if I couldn't stop, turn the heat on immediately and blast it to get the heat out of the engine. This helped a little. So that's what I did today. It worked. When I left, I kept the heat on for a bit. Oh of course, I had the windows down. Once I was driving, I turned the heat off and it went back to normal. In the case of the old car, a fan was broken so it couldn't cool itself. I don't know why this car did that today, except I was in that stupid Starbucks line for half an hour! Lucky for my friend, because when I was one car away from ordering, she said, "If you go by starbucks can you get me a drink?" I said, "Actually..." so that was nice for her. So I left it on her porch and she came out and got it. Unfortunately, her dog got out and ran away! I sat in my car while she chased it, but she did eventually get it back in the house.
