Well, all was going rather well on the road (no wind to drive the trailer crazy, no rain, just enough sun...), or so it seemed until we crossed the FL-AL border. Welcome to Alabama? "Bite my shiny metal ass" as my dear friend Bender would say. Alabama the beautiful? or Alabama the beauti-full of surprises?
Yeah...that's right about where clutch of my beloved Civic let us down. You'll tell me, big deal on the highway, right? At least you do not have to switch gears, but basically I was in 5th and had to stay there because the pedal was stuck and would not come back up!
We still made it to the hotel, but of course, the GPS took us to the wrong hotel! It was the same company, just the wrong hotel (WTF??) I made it to a parking spot, called my insurance company (yeah the green lizard one), and all expenses on the towing etc were covered (thank god, or rather thank you green gecko!). My car was taken to the closest Honda dealer (across the street more or less: all in all, I lucked out!)
En gros le méchanisme de l'embrayage m'a lachement abondonnée! Le GPS m'a Emmenée au mauvais hotel, mais j'avais malgré tout sur moi le numéro de mon assurance voiture, qui s'est empressée de m'envoyer une dépanneuse et un rappatriement de ma voiture au concessionaire le lus proche (la rue en face ou presque...ouf!)
