Car died, more hitchhiking

The idiot lights on the brown dog (my 92 corolla) didn't work and, sadly, during a 2-hour drive the engine overheated. It threw a rod.

I broke down in Columbus IN and had to hitch 150 miles home. It wasn't too hard. I asked folks at gas stations (four different stations and rides) if they were going my way and it got me all the way to 275 and winton. Muni hitching is harder so I got a ride home from my mother-in-law.

I ended up selling the rolla's carcass for $75.

Anyway, it's alright. We still have the 91 camry and that runs very well.
