Mo Problems

I need to preface this blog by saying that my car is my baby. His name is Mo...as in autoMObile. I bought him all on my own over Christmas break when I was 19. And, I fell in love with him. We definitely spend a lot of time together, too. (haha) So, when anything happens to him, I get really stressed out.

For the past few days, Mo wasn't starting quite as easily. Then, I had no problems for a whole day, so I thought he must be okay. Wrong! Yesterday I got in him to find the battery light coming on even though the battery was practically brand new. After getting that checked with the warrenty at Wal-Mart, I was told that it was drained and would be replaced for free. But, once they were done, they then let me know I needed a new alternator. So, I headed to the nearest mechanic and got a very high estimate but didn't think I had any other options. Wrong again! After conferring with my Dad, I learned that Devin could install it for me. He spent time reading up on it to make sure, too. After a night of (unsuccessfully) trying to steal back my car and going and buying my own alternator, we had a plan to take care of it this morning.

However, the mechanics started working on Mo long before they were answering the phone this morning. And, even though we arrived a while before they opened, Mo was already done. Boo! So, I got ripped off. But, the bright side is that he is fixed! Yay!
