Break break down

Today was moving day for my grandma, as such we were moving some of her stuff
to her new place. Nothing much, a fridge, washer/dryer, and a few pieces of furniture.
The fridge was the biggest thing, so we needed a UHAUL truck. Went to Blackstone
(street) to get the truck, when we get there, my dad's van's instrument panel lights
up like a xmas tree. Turn off the engine, and it promptly starts to spew large amounts
of white smoke. We try to cool it down, but only get a few hundred meters away before
we have to stop again. That happens once or twice, then we decide to just call for a
tow truck. We call at 3:15, the guy says the truck should be there within an hour.
Keep in mind we're sitting out in 106 degree heat, no shade, no water.


us at 3:30,


3:45,


4:00,


4:20. We spent over an hour in the friggin heat. Took it to Pep Boys, turns out the radiator cracked.
~$400 to fix.
