>>Today has to be one of the worst days I've ever experienced. I was
>>driving from Clearwater, Fl to Orlando, a drive I'm used to making
>>(1-2 times roundtrip a week). When I got to my exit on I-4, my car
>>started bucking and kicking, and I couldn't accelerate (this in
>>stop-and-go traffic, of course), and then stalled. I manouevred it
>>as far out of the right lane as I could (there was no emergency
>>lane), and put my blinkers on. I don't have a cell phone, so I
>>just sat there trying to start the car, it would start, but
>>despite my efforts to rev it, it'd die almost immediately. So I
>>waited... nobody would stop and help, everyone would rush around
>>me almost hitting my poor car. Finally, after 10-15 minutes, it
>>started back up, and I managed to get it off the highway, but as I
>>was getting it down the road (Colonial in Orlando, very busy
>>road), it decided to start doing the same thing from a traffic
>>light, so I pulled into the middle turn lane (I was stupidly in
>>the left lane), and put the flashers on again.  People once again
>>just queued up behind me instead of trying to help, honking their
>>horns and speeding around me when they could. Finally I managed to
>>wave down a cop who pushed me into a parking lot (I couldn't push
>>myself as I was alone and with two cats, so I couldn't manage it
>>across a busy intersection alone). It refused to start, so I
>>called AAA and had it towed. Here I am now. Sorry for it being so
>>long and stuff.
>>This is my 82 by the way.
