Daughters 240D just broke down, thank God for road side service.
My daughter just called on the side of the road with an over heat situation.
Got to her 15 minutes later. Her water pump seal failed and she lost all the water. Bad part is that there was a puddle under her car in the driveway before she left. But we did not walk her out to the car the way we normally do. I would have stopped her, or called her to return. We pay $4 each month on the 4 cars under our USAA auto insurance. The best $16 a month we spend. We have used the roadside assistance 5 times in the last 6 years. Once when the 560SL blew the oil filter off ( my fault over torqued the filter bolt) We had it towed form College Station to the DFW area ( $256 extra but worth it, A Friday night on a long weekend and no one could work on it ) So a heads up. With these older cars make sure you have road side assistance Dave
