Sometime in January, Nilson felt the need to clean his engine. So the guy I consider quiet an expert on cars opened his hood and started to spraying the hose all over the engine.

I thought it was a little odd, but said nothing, as it was early morning and tensions were high. We quickly got in the car on our way to my job, he was dropping me off.

We traveled a few feet and the engine started to stuttered. A few more feet and the car died. Funny from my perspective, totally aggravating from Nilson’s.
