Friggin' Cars

What a load of crap. The Sherpa-mobile died on me whilst driving home on Memorial Drive this afternoon. Luckily, when I got out of my car to check out the problem... a tow truck drove by and helped me out. So, there was a stroke of luck and didn't tie up traffic too badly... not even for that long at all.

The tow truck driver figured it was the fuel pump not giving the engine anything to combust, so I spent a good portion of the afternoon thinking about what to do and price out my options. One of the dealerships in town here has quoted me $600 for parts and labour to get it fixed up... so that's one option. I'm gonna wait to hear from another place in the Northeast to figure it out as well.

Dad also put it in my head to think about buying a new car... get on a payment plan or something. It's also a thought. We shall see.
