This did happen to me last Saturday night. I had friends in town and of course everyone wants to go for a ride in the GT and who am I not to comply with that request. Anyways I am out in the middle of nowhere doing the good ole 1-2-3-4 when I see a fountain of water in the rear view mirror and instantly think oh shit. So I shut the car down and roll to a stop on the side of the road. Crack the back open and see one of the primary coolant hoses had popped off on the passenger side. At this point I am relieved knowing that I can repair this myself with a screw driver and water. Called the wife to bring out the essentials and chilled out on the side of the road in the Florida heat and waited on the goods. I see the race jeep roll up behind me and now the fun begins. I am burning myself trying to wedge my hand against the motor to tighten the clamp that was not fully tightened down when the car was assembled. Also at this same time I have been getting bitten by yellow flies and listen to other animals creep around in the woods. MJ you know what road I am talking about.
Alright so I get the clamp on and move to the other side to add water. Now this is where it gets really good. I feel something biting my leg and think its the damn flies. Nope I am standing in a massive red ant hill and these suckers are biting the hell out of my leg and all over my shoes. So I start jumping around trying to get all of the ants off my shoes. I take my shoe off and throw it. I yank off my sock and throw that while dancing around in the middle of the street like a crack pot. Talk about fun !
At that point the pinnacle had finally been reached. I get the ants off of me roll the car forward finish up the coolant purge and refill and I was good to go. Another GT memory to be had forever !
