MoPac, yo. That looks like it’s up north, though, maybe near Far West. I thought you were south.

Wait. You were towing it home from the mechanic? Isn’t that kind of backwards?

You DO see the Alfa Romeo badge on the back, right?!

Yeah, so I’d driven it up there to get it checked for road-worthiness. On the way it developed a nasty ignition problem. My mechanic gave me a list of checks to perform at home, rather than pay him $1200 to do the work and I headed out. I made it to MoPac before the bucking and stalling began again. I ended up skipping the flyover from 183 to MoPac because I KNEW I’d stall out and everything was down to a single lane due to construction.

I drove on to Burnet, hit the frontage road, and died at Highland Lanes. Went in, got an AMAZING burger at Lebowski’s, and waited for the tow.

Tough luck. At least the burger was good.
