Haha that old car (a gift) that we were using to make it through COVID may have had it’s final hurrah. Time to head up to where we ditched it in the Bronx and figure out what went wrong last night.
It started smoking and going haywire under the hood literally on the GWB in heavy traffic. I was able to limp over the bridge and then ditch it on the first non-freeway street I could get to.
Heading back up to sort it out. My best guesses, in order of liklohood, based on what happened and a cursory inspection under the hood in the dark before we bailed:
- Serpentine belt and friends had a bad day
- Some sort of catastrophic gasket/seal failure
- Blown head gasket
#3 is not super likely from what I saw in the dark last night, but I can’t rule it out.
