So... My car died yesterday. I was sitting at a light and put it in neutral and all of the sudden it just starts to rev. Anyway, the light turns green, and I go to put it in gear and the car makes this noise like "BANG!" followed by like three seconds of violent shuddering. So I try to accelerate and the thing feels like its not hitting first, because it takes an uber long time for it to get to speed. Then all the lights on the dash came on, and they and the radio gradually died as I made it the rest of the way to work. By the time I got to work, it was completely dead and now it wont even turn over. This leads me to belive it could be one of three things:

A) The battery just died out to the point where the alternator wont charge it anymore.

B) The alternator died, which is a very common problem with Saturns, OR

C) Something is wrong with the transmission, causing the bang when i put in gear, which in turn vibrated the engine so hard that the alternator came loose.

In any event, it sucks because i'm having to carpool everywhere now. Hopefully, it's either something really cheap to fix, or something super expensive so I can justify buying another car.


Anyway, I am in the process of selling my first set of pictures so I'm all excited about that and my bass came in the other day, it rocks my world, but I forgot to take pictures of it.

Later.
