One of my customers from long ago had some high end Mercedes S class. His daughter borrowed it for a trip to visit friends in Colorado. She noticed the temp needle pointing off the scale and she just assumed the needle had fallen off of the gauge. She kept driving until the engine seized, and she came to a screeching halt on a two lane road. The good news is a man behind her saw her rear tires lock up, and he was smart enough to stop in time. He put the car in neutral, and pushed it off of the road. The wrecker destroyed the front bumper getting it loaded.
My customer friend was not real happy with his daughter. She was very lucky that the man behind her was a stand up man and good guy and took her to a local car rental place and she rented a car with daddy's credit card. He was happy his daughter was safe, and he was ready to wring her neck when she returned.
