FML.

So my car's been making a squeaky noise for weeks. In preparation for the three hour drive home, and with Spring Break approaching, I brought it in to a garage. I got my car back with a new alternator on Thursday morning, and left town early Saturday morning.

The car died 4 miles out of town. I got it towed back to the same garage, which didn't open until this morning. They cleaned some cables, declared it fixed, and I picked it up an hour and a half ago to drive home. Didn't even make it out of town this time. Thankfully I coasted into a parking lot before it gave up completely.

AAA's gonna be here in an hour, and there's a cafe about .5 miles from the car place, so I think I'll set up shop there while I wait for the new alternator to be replaced with a newer alternator. Don't want to abuse my borrowing-rides-from-friends privileges.

The AAA guy I talked to today was the same guy from Saturday - I told him what the deal was, and his response was "Hey, don't you have to get to St. Louis to walk your dogs?"

To which I replied: "omg, y'all take detailed records..." Then I figured out it was the same guy. My folks have gotten some coworkers to walk to the dogs, thank god, but they're both gonna be stir crazy.

Hopefully, in 7-8 hours, I will be home. If not, I will be homicidal.

For now, I'mma just lean my seat back, be thankful for my phone, and get started on some homework.

Yay break?

I feel for you. Had the exact prob... Well sort of. Lol I have a dodge 2007. Its battery light came on, we replaced the battery. A day later we broke down at 930 pm a mile from home. Got it towed. Assumed it was the alternator. Replaced that and its core. A week later broke down twenty yards from home on the same time. Battery was dead. Went to the place I bought the battery. It should have been reading at 525 volts or whatever and it read 420. They said it was still "ok"... I called my uncle. He called them, and ten min later I had a new battery... Battery light came pn a week later... Broke down at my aunts house. Towed it to the dealership. Needed to have all the electrical cords replaced...

I am ready to burn this car and get the insurance money... I really am... Lol but I hope you get home alright soon!
