jayArrgh... I was stranded in an empty parking lot tonight at 1am, waiting for a tow truck. The convertible has a new battery that I installed this morning, but when we came out of the cafe on Winchester, it was dead. I must've been running it down all day long... which makes me suspect the alternator. Sigh. patgreene was with me...
On top of this, the minivan is showing unmistakable signs of needing a new clutch. Plus an engine overhaul. And tires and brakes. After 8 years and 122,000 miles, it may be time to go shopping. Together, my two cars have 23 years and over a quarter million miles between them...
