Gimpy Gilby

You know that fear? The kind you get when you think your car is dying? Especially on the old cars? It's like an everyday anxiety issue, fighting with yourself to get in the car, hoping today is not the day your car dies.

Whelp, that didn't last long for me today.

I was driving home from school and decided to take a short-cut (which now I'm glad I did!) and as I'm driving the radio system just shuts off. No explanation whatsoever. Then the speedometer decided it too wanted to go out... so it was all funky and then stopped working. All my hazard lights were going crazy and I had no idea what was going on. So I called my best friend and she told me that my battery was dying... and then the car started to shut down... it was like trying so hard to chug along and keep going, so I pulled over and into a neighborhood where he soon died...

I was like... oh my goodness!! Hahaha my best friend and I just continued to laugh at the whole situation. So she decided to come out and save me and I called my dad to tell him what happened, and he too decided to come out.

Pretty much she only came out for moral support because we just let my dad do the work, until he needed me to help. My car ended up not wanting to work so we went home and my mom went back with my dad, and it still wasn't working.

So today my father performed some pretty intense heart surgery on Gilbert but he lived!!! :) It makes me so happy! I was so sad that he was gone, and now he's back!
