OH
SUCKING, MOTHER
PIECE OF
!
...the junkyard alternator I bought a little while back for my car packed up and died on my way home from work.
Oh well, you get what you paid for.
Problem here is that my new Focus hasn't arrived yet. Last I heard it was on the ramp being loaded onto the truck for delivery, and that was a little under two weeks ago. I'm just gonna go and buy a new alternator so I don't have to worry about it anymore.
As a side note, though it's part of the reason I'm just going to flat-out buy a new alternator, there's been a change in plans. Originally I was going to sell the Cavalier to help pay for the Focus. However my dad would like to keep the Cavalier for my mom to use for who knows how long, so it pretty much NEEDS to be in working order. On the plus side, we only need it to hold itself together until my brother gets another car (won't be for a while, though). Then the plan will be to give mom my brother's Datsun and finally get rid of that gutless POS GM called a "car".
