AAA insurance is heaven sent down to earth. Too bad my own car doesn't have it. BUT, this afternoon, me, Vic, May's cousin, and May all headed home to Milpitas in May's car. Suddenly we felt something fall and tumble underneath us. The car filled with white smoke and shook to a stop on the left hand shoulder of 1-80 near Vacaville. At first we were a bit confused and frustrated but...

I called AAA for May, then the highway patrol came over and radio-ed a tow truck immediately. All the highway patrols did an awesome job. They quickly redirected traffic and got it started again really fast. And our tow trucker, David, was nice too. He even offered to get us a Round Table pizza after he dropped off the car.

Btw, I'm back in Milpitas now. And just our luck, Anh's truck nearly broke down on the way, too. It was burning no more gas, so he put it in neutral and we went downhill 55 mph for a few miles, thru the exit, and steered right into a gas station. Cars just suck. Mine is getting a new engine on Sunday.
