To most people who lives in the south – what is up with ya’lls cars splitting down on the side of the road? In the far north, no one seems to have this much car trouble, and no matter what highway you’re cruising down here, you can expect to see dozens of vehicles abandoned on the sides of the road. I’ve constantly wondered why this takes place here, in certain. I assumed it had something to do with exhausting car maintenance or low quality vehicles, but in fact, I was totally wrong. The problem with vehicles in the south is overheating, however apparently, it’s extremely straight-forward for an engine to become too warm when it’s 90 degrees outside. At that point, your engine will basically explode unless you stop driving. Then you’re stuck outside in the pounding sun, trying not to explode yourself. I learned that you can get a few more miles down the road, but, if you turn off the onboard A/C system plus turn on the heat. Apparently, running the onboard boiler at full blast will cool down your engine a few degrees. You can bypass the air over the engine plus cool down the machinery, possibly saving your car. This might get you condo without a tow truck, but it comes with some clear limitations. Namely, if you’re running the heat in a 90 degree car, soon it’s going to be a 100 degree car. You won’t get stuck waiting in the afternoonlight on the side of the road, but you might pass out from heat exhaustion before that point.
