Been busy so like a few times in the past, I took my truck to a Walmart Express Lube at lunch. First time I tried out the Seminole Town Center location.
After I make a left on to Rinehart I start to smell something funny. I look at my gages and oil pressure as well as engine temp are fine.
But by the time I travel another 90 seconds down Rinehart, I still smell it - unlike anything before. I pull over at the 7-11 at Rinehart and Lake Mary and open the hood.
The cap is on and everything seems okay for the first second. Then I notice an orange glow and look around the left side of my engine.
Nice BASKETBALL SIZE FIREBALL at the base of my engine slowly making its way all over whatever it can BURN!!!
After jumping back a few feet, I ran into 7-11 to not-so-casually to exclaim "my engine is on fire! Where are the gallon bottles of water?!" As if the same people from Walmart seem to work at 7-11, they say nothing. I repeat myself, and finally 2 customers are far more helpful than the 7-11 crew.
Sigh, what an interesting society of Americans make up our retail and everyday service trades today, eh?
Waiting on AAA to call me back with news of a truck and some much needed legal advise.
