Sick Person Visited. Car Abandoned.

[loreleyjacob]

I got out of work this afternoon, and got into the car, but it wouldn't start. I had to leave it in the parking lot. The village mayor picked me up and we both drove to the hospital to visit a a member of our community who had a heart attack on Sunday. It's interesting how ministerial skills sometimes interact with local activism

Eek, fingers crossed that it's something minor.

[loreleyjacob]

Thanks. Turned out to be the key. Key is minor enough! :) Yay, etc.

I hate car issues. Possibly alternator or starter issues? I used to have a car that simply ATE starters and ignition switches for some reason. Let's hope it is something easily and inexpensively solved! :::::crossing fingers::::

My car's french. It's known to eat anything electrical. This time it's only the key, though. Yay. Thanks for the crossed fingers!

Following up ... how is car??
Enquiring minds, from far away -- :D

Car is good! Yay. The roadside assitance truck arrived at 10:30, about 3 hours after I called them this morning. It took the guy 10 seconds to diagnose the problem. He tried to start the car, listened to the sound, and said to me, "lady, your car key was damaged somehow. Go get the spare". I called my sister who got me the spare key from home, and lo and behold, the car starts just fine. Grrrr. I don't remember anything extraordinary happening to my car key.

Of course, though, I'm glad it's just the key and not anything major.

I'll have the spare duplicated tomorrow, probably. The guy recommended me a good place that isn't too expensive. I swear, this roadside assistance service is the best thing about my car insurance policy.

I'm glad the car didn't need any extensive repairs!
