So, I dropped my car off on Monday at the auto repair place. They took a look at it and determined that I had a crack in my radiator that may have been splashing coolant on my fuse box and making my electrical shit all wonky. So, I needed a new radiator and a new thermostat, all of which cost me $325ish.

Tuesday I picked the car up. I drove home. I drove to work. I took one delivery. I tried to take a second one and the car wouldn't start. None of the electrical stuff would come on, but there was a clicking sound near the front of the engine. I called a tow truck. Instead of just towing me home we decided to try jumping my car first. It worked, the car started immediately. I drove it around for awhile and then parked near my apartment.

This morning I took my car back over to the repair place. They looked at it (eventually). They told me I needed a new alternator and that would cost me $280ish. I was like, "Yo, I'm pretty sure I got an alternator replaced here about a year or so ago. Is there some type of warranty?" He looked it up and said, indeed, you'll only have to pay labor, the alternator is covered. So, it only cost me $60.

Now my car is running fine, but who knows how long.....
