After a call to my husband, I popped the hood and went to get my tool box... except when I made room for my art class supplies, I took it out so I was stuck. Amazingly no one offered to help or even look, some were even frustrated that I was blocking the pump. I asked around, no tools at all.
By this time I saw smoke, and even after I yelled out "hey there's smoke" no one budged or even paid attention. So I ran back over and looked under the hood (cause I do dumb things) to see where it was coming from. Basically everything was hot including the battery, and the cables, I grabbed the cable and pulled on it betting on the fact that things were melting, and to my surprise I was right. And she stopped. I actually got it pushed out of the way, thanks to a very nice man who helped out.
Finally after many phone calls, I got a tow company that was priced in my budget.... ie cheap. I had used Queen Bee Towing in the past whom I love, but I just couldn't find them listed even 411, of course I only had access to one kind of phone book (don't even get me started on that one). So I called Affordable Towing, cause I thought well they must be... and they were. The guy who came out was super nice and he even parked the van better than I do using cable off a flat bed ( which really isn't saying much if you look at my tires side-wall)
My poor dad whom I was giving a ride to, no thinks I am nuts, which is sad because I had him snowed of the fact for so long. The very best part of this whole thing is that the house finally closed and we get keys tomorrow!
So to sum it up, van broke down, moving tomorrow, yeah for me!
