Had a taurus wagon my parents handed down to me after I wrecked my first car. The last couple weeks I had it, it had a blown a head gasket. So about a week or so before I finally got rid of it I was on my way to school, and decided to stop at a gas station well wouldn't you know the taurus starts steaming from all the leaking coolant right in front of a gas pump, lol. The attendants in the gas station panicked cause they thought the car was on fire, so I pulled it up to a parking space, got a ride from some strangers to school, and had the car towed to some garage up the road.

The mechanic said he temporarily fixed the coolant issue with some goop stuff. That lasted a week before every time I pulled up at an intersection my car would start steaming.
