I hardly knew thee.

This will be news for most of you. My van is no more, probably. The impount guy told me that it would be destroyed(beyond the condition I left it in) soon.As I was driving to work on Monday, I merged onto I-5, and the van stopped accelerating after 55MPH. So, I went onto the shoulder of the next exit. When I stopped, I noticed smoke coming up from around the hood, and a car that had whipped around me when I was slowing down had stopped a ways in front of me. When I opened me door, the other driver came running up and called out "your car is on fire." It most certainly was. I pulled all my army junk out, and waited for the fire truck to show up. They put the fire out and I was late to work. I suggest that if your vehicle is making funny noises, get it checked out sooner rather than later. I wish I'd takin pictures while it was going up.
