Hey guys, I think I blew up my engine yesterday.
I did the unthinkable of forgetting to cap my radiator and then driving off to work!

I frequently topped up my radiator because of poor seal at the mouth.
The engine is otherwise in great shape with no fault codes, and aircon chilling without break since 2008!
This is a 1MZ-FE on a 2001 Avalon.

So, back to my pain, yesterday, without the radiator cap on, the water evaporated off, and I was only alerted when I noticed what sounded and felt like pinking noise, then low power. By the time my eyes went to the temperature guage, the engine just died on the Oshodi expressway. Total driving time was at least 45 min.
I'm not a car novice, which is why this is so distressing, but I need you gurus to spell it all out for me, and tell what I'm faced with here.

But how can you drive for even 2 minutes without taking a peak at your "instrument cluster"?

I don't know whether to call that carelessness or ignorance? Now you got bigger problems to deal with because of that.

Goodluck man!!!

Wow, you drove a car for 12+ years? You deserve an award.

Mr cool on the beat again.
Hope this customer won't lash out at you if you get it wrong?

And one more thing,



Don't be silly! If I take my car to a mechanic to fix it, I expect him to do just that. It's a paid service innit?
When he falls short of expectations then I lash out with whatever channel I've got. If you perform well and I decide to praise you openly, YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO IT!!!
it's a plus and you should treat it as one, the payment is enough praise. That's how business is. How many times have you opened a thread or openly praised the young girl/ boy attending to you at the supermarket when your orders are processed accurately? How many times have you paid homage to the Panadol manufacturer for your headache that cleared after taking the drug as the manufacturer claims? But if it goes wrong, you come online and start shouting everywhere as in the case of a guy bashing a stationary vehicle on the street with his eagle eyed golf 3 /golf 4, you know the guy.

Don't be too silly to think you should demand vocal or written praise for a paid service you claim to render.
Emphasis on "claim".

Nothing Nigerian about it. It's just business
