One time in my truck I was hauling ass down a highway and it was 110+ out.
I was cruising along being awesome (as I always am) and notice my temperature guage rocketing up. Wtf I think.
Then, I goto stop, and all of a sudden as I turn off the road I notice my steering now feels like I'm turning monster truck tires with no assistance. At that point I realize my belt snapped because my water pump and power steering pump are both offline at the same time.
Sweet. Randomly, my brother by chance comes hauling ass around the corner in his jeep. I haven't a clue why he was out there, but he was.
Life saved. That feel.
Totally read this in what I believe the voice of the dude in your avatar sounds like.....laughed my fucking ass off when you got to the part about your brother, if only because I can see my brother doing that.
Still sucks that ya broke down though

Oh it gets better. On Sunday night at 8 p.m., I left the west coast with my fiancé to come visit my parents in Texas for a couple weeks. We finally got here yesterday.
I had 3, yes 3 fucking flat tire incidents on the way here. My euro ghey car just can't handle the planetary collision like moon craters on the interstates through New Mexico and west Texas.
I got the first flat right before Roswell, then another flat in Vaughn, New Mexico (which I found out is such a busted ass town, the only legal police officer there is the police dog, srs, google it), and then another flat in ozona Texas.
Btw, for the geographically challenged, this was all desert.
