greetings from florida

yes i'm finally here after 4 days of traversing the entire US. on a road trip with my friends so we drove 30 hours from minnesota to fort lauderdale.

our car broke down in atlanta, georgia on sat afternoon of 18hrs of driving. damn exciting. we kind of managed to get it to a service station but the pple there told us to wait til monday to bring it to the ford dealership cause they have more equipment to diagnose the problem.

AND while driving our car to the motel that evening, our car DIED. like it wont start at all. thank god this mechanic from the workshop was trailing us cause we asked him to. and as he was fidling around with the car IN THE CENTRE OF THE BUSY JUNCTION this SUV pulled up with 2 teenage boys inside. then they just started using metal chains to hook up our car to theirs and the plan was to tow us to the motel. BUT suddenly the chain broke when we were turning left and our car was seriously in the middle of a VERY BUSY junction. DAMN SCARY.

we jumped out and started pushing the car. and we speculated that the mechanic was into coke cause we could see marks on his arms. and the thing was that the mechanic didn't know the 2 young kids at all; but he looked like some underworld person when he was talking to them.

so we had to stay in the motel for 2 nights and got our car fixed on monday morning and here i am in florida! :)

will post pics soon.
