Engine just blew on the way to the beach. Spark plugs popped out (maybe not, after all). Sending the car back but will try to still enjoy the weekend. At least my phone still works. Messed up room booking. Car busted. What a day. Here is a picture of a bunch me people angry at me. Update: Not sure what's wrong with the car yet. Managed to get to beach and a great mexican dinner so it wasn't all bad. -- Car was fixed in a couple of days, water-pump failed. The engine seems fine which is extremelly lucky as it could have blown. Thanks to the people (fix your blog William) who came to pick us up. And the American Express roadside rescue service rocked.
