I'm glad you got it all sorted out! heart
But I am sad it happened in the first place. And what the heck did happen? Did the battery die or the engine fail, or what? gonk

they say it's the head gasket.
the OTHER place it's being taken to now says it may not be that serious.

Speaking of cars...
I took ours to have it's oil changed and tires rotated and when the guy comes to the waiting room to give me my keys, he tells me my car has an oil leak! It's apparently not a big leak. The oil pan is just "a little wet", looks like old oil and is leaking "from near the front of the engine".
Dammit. We can't afford car BS. I hope it's nothing serious. Maybe it's just the gasket on the oil pan. I hope..

I'll say this: maybe you should just get it fixed now as it might cost more to fix it if the problem progresses. I have learned this lesson myself. In fact I've learned it twice for good measure. gonk
But holy crap-cakes I hate car problems. I had a serious issue with my car at the start of last semester/tail end of Summer and I about lost my mind. Fixing it was necessary, so I paid, and picked up double shifts to get the money I spent on it back as soon as possible as I was moving at the same time and had to and putting down a deposit, pay the first month of rent, and start school - which contained my 4 hour Senior thesis class. I was so stressed out. I completely blamed all the frustration on the car as it was the added inconvenience and expense that tipped me over into the realm of the insane.
INSANE.

There's what's called the "Machida divide". People either love him or hate him. There's a lot of MMA fans who don't like him and often don't understand what he does in the ring. It's called 'Karate". They may have heard of it.

INSANE. They said they won't know what the issue is until they keep it in the shop for one whole day, clean out the system, clean off the undercarriage, etc etc. I haven't asked hubby when he wants to do that. I think it's one of those things where you're almost afraid to find out how much it's going to set us back .

Oh, I feel you; not wanting to know is practically every car situation in my life. gonk I hope it gets resolved soon-ish though, and that it isn't too expensive! And what happened to your face Jaeger?

Mitchell Hundred And what happened to your face Jaeger? Nothin' major. Accident at work. Swelling is going down and it only hurts when i touch it. I do feel kinda dumb about it though. Should have had a better grip on things.
