So another scare for the Emery household. On Tuesday another ice storm came to the DC area. Matt and Katie both get up uber early so Matt was headed to the cars to scrape and defrost. Katie's car was not defrosting too well so Matt just headed to the gym in Bethesda while Katie took over. When Matt left he left the car slightly on so air would continue to defrost the windshield. So when Katie got in the car she tried to turn it all the way on and it went.....RRRRRRRR stop. And then some lights on the dashboard came on. So doing the regular girl thing....she pressed the start button a few more times. Then the brake pad would not go down (which is required to turn the car on). So in a panic, Katie calls Matt to let him know the car is not working. So Katie just left the car and went back into the house. But then...after 5 minutes she decided to try the car again and luckily it started! So off she went to work. Driving really really slowly through the neighborhood Katie got to Kensington Parkway to make a left and as a law abiding citizen that she is she tries to stop at the stop sign...but wait...the brake pad won't go down! The car won't stop! So Katie is just driving straight across the street with no stopping. She saw a man walking so she beeped her horn so she wouldn't hit him! She could not press the brake pad! Luckily she wasn't going fast at all and the car stopped on its own and no cars were coming (it was 6:40am by the way). So Katie who is shaking and trembling turned the car around and parked that sucker back at home! Matt had to drop her off at work. What the eff? How can a brand new car act so weird?
So Hershey gets loose....bad weather with no power....and brake pads fail....we are due for some good luck now....please?
