Good Sam Roadside Assistance & Summer Sizzle
Well, I can’t say it finally happened, because there was no sign anything was wrong. My car is only 7 years old with only about 60,000 miles. Eric was planning on taking it in for its semi-annual oil change within the next few days, actually, as we both began to notice it seemed to be working harder to get up hills.
The recent development took a sudden and disastrous turn when the car up and quit on him on his way home from work! It started with a stalled engine as he stopped at the red light on the freeway off ramp. He got running again, but barely. Not one minute later it was done for good. Nothing was visibly wrong. No lights on the dashboard. But the engine was completely dead.
Drivers coming the other way shouted at Eric that the car was on fire! He got out and looked under the car and saw flaming bits of dripping melted plastic! He called roadside assistance and contacted the authorities. I’m so glad we had the protection of roadside assistance, even though I didn’t think we’d need it. We are coming near some of the busiest travel days of the year and I have a friend who is struggling to get an RV across the country right now.
