(30,947 posts)I pulled into the parking lot of the grocery store and when I parked, I saw steam coming from under the hood. I called AAA for a tow truck because I was afraid to drive the car and was told that someone would be there in about an hour. I waited an hour and called AAA again and was told 20 minutes, so I waited and no one came. I was getting thirsty and went into a burger shop for a soda. I happened to mention to the girl behind the counter that I had been waiting for an AAA truck for over an hour.
She told me she would send one of the guys that worked there to look at my car. He did and saw my radiator was almost totally dry. He had two jugs of water in his car which he put into the radiator that was enough to get me home since I only lived about 1-1/2 miles from the store. And while I was watching the guy check out the radiator, a lady walked up to me and asked if I needed a ride. That was a wonderful offer from that lady, but fortunately my radiator had water and I could make home.
