hi there
im blogging not from my expect ucsd apt but my house
because about 50 or 40 miles away from la jolla my cars battery died while i was driving
i had just passed a pretty bad accident in the carpool lane
and then i heard this horrible sound i thought someone hit my car but nothing 10 minutes later the red battery light came on i was like OHHH SO REDD!! and i ignored it thinking it was another light like the check engine light or something, 10 or 15 minutes later my radio turns off around the curve of mission viejo and im like oh no...it's broken...it's happened once or twice
then i notice my cars dashboard dimming quite rapidly and i couldnt really see my head lights anymore and by then my cousin noticed also so i quickly exited the free way and i was calling my dad and i stopped to turn out of the exit but the battery died all together
and i was on the phone i dropped that and quickly tried to switch to neutral and managed to make it half way out of turn and it stopped all together, kind of obstructing traffic but not completely.
it was a lesser used exit still some cars going through it
a good many people asked if we needed help and by god we did
we need to jump the car it wont work
so one couple went to go get their jumpers and soon another couple came who had jumpers so we just asked them they jumped our car they were a young couple with a little baby, and they hadnt really done it before
my cousin said he had so he did it
we jumped it and it was working and they were about to leave when the car quickly died, i asked them to jump it one more time and if not then it's done. and it died again
i put it in neutral with that tiny energy it got and got it to the side of the road
after that i called my dad he said he was going to come
needed to find out what exit i was in it was a little obscure on the edge of nowhere and i walked to where a street sign would be but instead i found a guard post and they said a name starting with an O, right after christianitos dr., san clemente
i waited a good hour and a half not that bad, it getting colder, it was dark but not that late at all.
my dad when i called him talked about how he advised me not to come, how my mom didn't want me to come but i wanted to so she let me, and how he told me it was going to happen
all of this was unspoken before i had left
but ok
my dad finally arrived and he just left his car running bringing out an extra battery
i was a little surprised i knew it wasnt just it needed to be jumped because we had tried that
my dad said we were going home
he switched for a spare battery and had doubts of the car making it home
i was to follow him in case it went out again
and it did once we got to mission viejo
he had to do another battery replacement this time with the working cars battery and so the working car had the bad battery
after that we just followed each other home
and i ate
when i was waiting sort of watching my dad and sort of cousin working on the battery i thought of how much what we were doing resembled a game
the first time the battery gave out we were under cold circumstances but there was plenty of light in a not that popular driving area
the 2nd time the battery gave out we were in a more dangerous area off the side of a popular exit ramp AND in the dark, with nothing but a battery
it got a lot harder the second time but after that surprisingly there were no more messups! which maybe is the difference between my dad and i, how i would keep doing the same thing or mistake over and over and expect different results but he tried something different and it worked and no more problems the rest of the way home
it was kind of ridiculous that i thought it was fun following my dad home in his car
tell me why
we got home i ate and watched spongebob
i didnt even say thank you
when my car first gave out
i called my dad a 2nd time telling him what i was going to do on this fine sunday night
call triple a scratch that costco insurance and take the car
my dad asks where? idk to costco??? i needed to find out the exit name for him to come pick me up
hang up
wait cant we just have it towed and my "friend" just pick me up?
after all we were closer to san diego than to chino hills
i called my "friend" twice no luck he'll get back to me eventually
called my dad with the exit name asking if my friend could just pick me up
NOPE whatever plans for san diego are now scrappped!
i had called luis, and i told him my car was broken down
he then called me, but by then no chance of sd
i was so happy to hear his voice though
its bad though
i called him and i called my dad
i need to get over him
he's no longer part of my life in that way.
he wouldve came.
but no good thing i wenthome.
