Hose from Water pump to BAC valve exploded...

I figured I'd share my story with everyone just because it is pretty lulzy... to me atleast.
I forgot how much fun daily driving a fc is...
I was on my way back home and just passed walmart.
This girl I used to talk to waved at me as I passed and I wave back of course.
1 second later, my hose exploded and as all my antifreeze blew on the engine;
I smoke screened everything behind me.
So, I pull over in my town's "plaza" and I get lucky, everybody I know is out there.
We find the hose, get it replaced, one hour and I'm ready to roll.
This guy comes over and says, "My dad say's rotaries are unreliable and blow up all the time."

"Your dad is dumb." and I drive off.

i had a similar thing happen to me, but involving my intercooler piping.
some one stopped and asked if i needed help, that they knew how horrible the rotaries were,
they waited around, and after i got it back together it started right up.

lol then they asked if i wanted to race, i was down.
after the race they got back next to me and i said, sorry, i know how slow those piston
engines are.

i got a little giggle out of it

This guy didn't even offer to help. lol.
But yeah, my car was flooded but it started right up...
I love how people all have misconceptions about rotaries because they don't understand them.
