I went with Scott's family to his brother's high school graduation and I have to say it was a new experience for me! My graduating class was 15 and we had it in our school gymnasium. Ryan's class, on the other hand was almost 400 people and they had it in the CU event center. After almost 2 hours of speeches and graduates names, we were done and on our way to dinner with their family.
We had just left the event center when smoke started to come out of the hood of the car and the temp meter started to rise. We were stuck in traffic and didn't have anywhere to go to check it out so we decided to keep going and see if the temp would rise anymore. Before too long we were going up a long steep hill and the temperature was rising faster and faster. Once we got to the top of the hill Scott put it in neutral and we were coasting down the hill. Lights on the dashboard were turning on and off and most of the controls had turned off. At the bottom of the hill was an exit so we got off in hopes of finding a car shop within coasting distance.
Luckily enough there was a gas station right off the exit so we coasted into the parking lot just as the power steering went out and we slowly came to a stop.
We ended up sitting on the curb having chips and pop while we waited for the tow truck to show up. What a great way to celebrate your graduation huh Ryan?! Well it sure made for a great story! Congrats Ryan! I wish you the best of luck in your years to come!
