Angry Currently stranded on the side of the road

So I'm on my way home from work and right smack in the middle of traffic my car stalls and won't start back up again. After several attempts to restart the car, I threw in the towel and pushed it off to the side of the road. I'm currently sitting in my car waiting for the tow truck. Oh, did I mentioned that it's freezing outside and that I need to use the restroom? This is not the afternoon I had in mind. Please excuse my ranting, but I need to vent.

I also can understand your frustration completely!

After a working day this is the last thing I would like to happen...


Good luck that the truck comes fast and that it is nothing serious!

I heard on the radio this morning that they are declaring a State of Emergency, the orange crops are freezing...so much for global warming!


Sorry to hear that your car is down, hopefully it isn't anything that they can't get fixed quickly.

Keep us updated! My car broke down 2 weeks ago and wouldn't start up. Turned out to be a faulty alarm control unit and clutch switch.

No wait. When it gets to cold they call it climate change. All B.S.

Florida vacation scheduled in 10 days. It had better be warmer than this. I did Disney last year in 4 layers of clothes and I'm NOT doing it again this year.







Sorry about your car, hope it's not serious.....

I think the cold weather is Karma for the bragging that some of the Florida guys did a few weeks ago.

Come to Vancouver, it is warmer here in the morning, I think it was above 40F (6C) here at 5:30 am.

16-18 degrees F. here at night (central NC). I think last night it "warmed up" to 25F. We may see some frozen precipitation tomorrow evening. The salt brine trucks were out spraying the roads this afternoon.

Hope your fixed and back on the road ASAP.

Getting stuck on the road is the worst.
Hope road side assistance has taken care of everything.
