Leaving for Hollywood Tomorrow Morning

Story of the day:
So Jude gets over to Louise's and Louise checks the oil in her car. Lo and behold, there is antifreeze on the ground.

Jude says, "That looks like it's coming from your car."

Louise says, "My neighbors were working on their truck in the street the other day. It could've come from theirs."

Jude, now down on her knees and looking under the car says, "That looks like it's coming from your car. Take a look in the radiator."

Louise says, "Where's the radiator. Oh, there it is." She undoes the cap and guess what? No antifreeze.

Jude checks the reservoir. Empty.

Louise says, "I'll get some water and put it in."

She does, while Jude looks under the car. Drips all over the place. But since Louise missed the hole a lot, she wasn't sure.

Jude says, "Start the car and don't run me over."

Louise does (start the car, that is). More water and antifreeze chugs to the ground.

Jude says, "Either your radiator is bad or a hose is."

We go to Quality Tune Up on Arden and after a test drive and pressure check, the verdict is: "You need a new radiator."

$400 later, we are ready to fly the coop to Hollywood with Bucky as navigator.
