Well, the car has been acting up the past week and i guess it finally took a s**t.

During the past few days i had an issue that i posted here. It wasnt a huge issue and thought i could last a few more days until i had the time to take a look at it. It rained for about 4 days straight here so today was my only day after work to take a look at it.

so i was driving to lunch when i hit a bump, it sputtered, then finally stalled out. i kept trying to start it while coasting on the highway, hoping the cars behind me saw my hazards while trying to cross 4 lanes to get off onto the shoulder. after about 10 attempts, the car just would not start, just cranks and cranks.

nothing obviously loose in the engine bay. i even made sure my wires were all pushed in before i left. all this happened less than a mile from my house. go figure.

so anyway, the car's in the shop now. i guess i'm lucky that i work from home.

*sigh* i'm gonna go eat some bon bons, watch a dirty movie and cry myself to sleep
