Yesterday, my agency was looking for nurses for a last minute assignment to run a flu clinic today. Not a big deal, except that the clinic is being held in a town almost 300 miles away. I ended up going since they were offering rooms, mileage and a small bonus.
My poor car seems to be taking it harder than I am, though. I made it all the way down here with no problems - except the steep inclines. My car, she is not a muscle car. . However, once I got back in the car after checking in at the motel, I put her in reverse and she coughed and died. Started back up, but ran a little rough for a moment.
I'm hoping that it had more to do with the fact that she had been going pretty hard for 5 hours, and then only had a 10 minute break before being started again. I really don't want to be stuck here and I don't have the funds for a major repair.
