I am freaking out: Mis-adventures with Rodolfo



T,  Glad you made it out of the tunnel OK.  I was very happy that mine
did not give up the ghost until after I had exited the tunnel.  Have
never broken down in one and hope I never do.

See ya this weekend!

My Dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree and I try downshifting it to pop it back in motion. Momentum carrier me cruelly enough to see the light at the end of the tunnel. To say the least I am freaking out cause there is a huge dump truck behind me and everyone is racing by like Talladega.

In any case It has been HOT as piss as of lately in the east coast and I am driving the car a lot. After parking it it has not been wanting to start. I figure it is an electrical gremlins the same one that used to cause the heat soak on the automatic starter. I know that there is something up with the fuse box as before.
