Damn work truck broke down!!!

My FORD work van just broke down on my way to a customers house! It moves but barely and can't shift outta 1st gear. Also, in D and reverse it is extremely sluggish even when I put the pedal to the floor. Could this be a tq converter issue or just maybe not enough/too much tranny fluid? Waiting for the tow truck guy to get here....

Open the radiator reservoir once it cools and put in as much long grain rice in as you can. Then close it.

What will that do other than fuck it up?

If done correctly, nothing.

That way they can't use it to find you.

Nothing new, my last option was to check the gas cap and it was on and tight so I'll let my company pay for someone to fix it. I'm pissed cause I spent 2 hours organizing that truck last night cause I just switched into it a week agom and now I'm back to driving a f*&$%^& Astro van! FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
