Argh!!
So this morning, I finally had the time to get the brakes fixed on my car, but I find myself merely attempting to start the damn thing instead! It attempted to start. It really did. The starter kept chugging along, but apparently the engine just refuses to wake. I hope it's just the weather or that it might just need a new distributor cap or something. I know virtually nothing about cars. It started fine on Friday (when I realized that the brakes are too bad to drive it anywhere but where they will be fixed), so I'm going to try it again in an hour or so.
In the meantime, I've been driving my mom's second car; however, my brother's truck now has brakes that are at least as bad as mine. He has determined that it wouldn't be worth the price of the brakes to replace them on his truck, so he offered to buy my mom's second car. My mom, of course, accepted. He wanted to pick up the car tonight. Since my mechanic works on a first come, first serve basis, I really needed to be there when they opened, which was at 8am. I figure that I'll call my brother on his lunch break with news. Either my car will start, allowing me to take it to have the brakes fixed, or it doesn't, causing me to have it towed to a mechanic who can determine what's wrong.
And Tomorrow's Thankgiving...
