correctiveshoes621You guys, you guys.
A-L-T-E-R-N-A-T-O-R.
At least, that's what my mechanic says. No idea on the weird, scary BOOM!-noise - he said he checked around and around, and nothing. The battery was dead, but once charged, it started up enough to get it into the garage. He drove it around, a little, and it sounded, 'normal', to him.
Thankful:
a) These mechanics are just such great guys. They are local and honest, and would not let me drive an unsafe vehicle. They once offered to drive my finished car to my son's workplace, so that he could drive it home, to me - have you ever heard of such a thing? They let me make payments, too.
Yes. I have them on speed-dial, on my phone. I *do* own a VW, after all.
b) So glad that all this didn't happen going *down* my scary driveway. I know I'm a coward/drama queen, but I will never forget the cars that slid down the driveway..THROUGH THE FENCE..AND ALLLLLL THE WAY DOWN TO THE HIGHWAY, BELOW..
c) So glad I'm still off work, at least, for tonight. I *really* need to get back in there - but, not tonight, in this, 'Herculean' mess.
So, here. Have some cocky pre-flight Alan Shepard:
