135 miles into my drive to do a Section Hike of the AT at Maryland/PA state line my car broke down, only 30 minutes away from the trailhead. Oil light on, check engine light on, white smoke pouring out of both exhausts (thought the car was on fire for a second), engine sounded off, then the car would only go like 50mph. Stressed & not sure what to do and this is my lemon to lemonade story of it all going wrong, only to go right in the end. Lemonade is my word for 2020!

-- Note it was going to take the dealership 2 days before they could even look at my car. I was stranded in another state without a way to get home. Uber to the trail and hike over night? It was just a 1 night trip, not 2. They thought it might be the turbo that went out, but they had no way of knowing and of course they didn't know how much it would be if that was the problem. Google said $1,300 to $2,500. So instead of throwing $ away that I would never get back from the repair, I decided to put money into buying a new car! Something that would not leave me stranded on the side of the road anymore! Lemonade baby! Gotta make the best out of a bad situation right?
