if your car was smoking, what would you do?

when i first discovered a nasty coolant line leak by the turbo…the coolant was hitting the turbo, and mist was coming from under the hood…but i freaked thinking it was smoke, popped the hood immediately, ran for the hose…then came back, and heard the sizzling and realized it was just water…

for that 30 seconds or so though, i was probably more scared than i’ve been in a long time…a very long time…
