My Car Broke Down

So, yeah, 7:45am on Saturday morning and I'm trying to book it over to my running thing that is only on Saturdays at 8am, and my car was not doing well. I have no idea what is wrong with it, but it was being very spastic, shaking, and sounding totally wrong. I called by parents, who I am sure were very happy to be woken up at 6:45am but what is a girl gonna do? Then, I tried to drive it and the engine stopped a half a block from home. GREAT! lol Wonderful! Oh well. I called a towing place and got a repair appointment. It is really not cool that I know nothing about cars. Now the tow truck should be here in an hour, and until then I'm like I actually wanted to do the training today. Oh well, things could be worse.
