Always Crashing in the Same Car, Part II

The car died on me again. This time on the way to work and while at the head of a left-hand turn lane of a fairly busy intersection. So, I am not only freezing and pissed, but now I get to annoy everyone on their way to work who has to meander around me. Just great!

Anyway, luckily THIS TIME the Emergency Roadside went smoothly, and the Honda was towed back to my main man Larry at Auto Electric. He chastised me for not bringing it in immediately after the speedometer (fuse) had blown a week ago, but since the car had been working perfectly except for the (again) broken speedometer, I just figured, what the hell. I'll drive it like I did before. Taking the car into the shop is the pits.

So, similar to before, I can expect the speedometer to blow again and again, and Larry will be giving us a box of fuses, and I will be leaving in a few minutes, to check out how to replace the little bastards myself. When it starts blowing all the time, I can finally bring it in and find out what the REAL problem is, which seems to be rather elusive.

I'm starting to hate this car.

Ugh. Car trouble. Sorry, dear.

Maybe you can trade the car in for a horse. Or a cart and some goats.

Your actually not the first person to suggest that. I wouldn't mind having a horse to ride to work! Course, in the upcoming couple of months it might kind of suck.
