It was beautiful out today so I decided to go for a little ride. Took this route a friend had recommended, and it quickly became one of my favorite roads. I come to a stop sign and sadly the end of this road. I make a left and continue on my way when an alarm sounds.

"What the fuck." I mumble out loud.

I look at my display. "Low Oil Pressure Pull Over And Stop Car Immediately." Or something to that affect.

I didn't mention that I'm in the middle of nowhere, but luckily a small post office was within a few hundred yards. Other than that, no houses, businesses, nothing, and guess who didn't have their phone.

I check my oil. Level is fine, and nice and clean. The car sounded okay after the alarm went off so I restart the car in hopes it was a fluke. Nope. I shut the car off again and wonder if I can MacGyver a phone. Deciding I can't do that, I set off. Road sign says my town is 6 miles away.

It's 85° out, home is 6+ miles away, I'm wearing flip flops and it's mostly uphill. Hit it.

The road leading home I'm quite familiar with. It's one of my favorites with lots of windy bits and few residences. Those residences don't start appearing until about 3 miles.

Turns out, 3 miles of driving nirvana is roughly equivalent to 3 miles of flip flop hell. I was considering going Jagvar style, but the shards of glass convinced me otherwise. One plus is that I always wanted to take some pictures of this road and had my camera with me.

Stop taking pictures Agrajag you got more climbing to do.

I finally get to the point where houses start popping up and see a guy working on an old Sentra. He's kind enough to let me use his phone and I call my brother. After getting back to my car I call VW Roadside in the hopes that I'm still covered, but no. I call an acquaintance who has a towing company.

"I knew it wasn't the Mercedes." He says jokingly.

"Ahahaha." I angrily reply.
