Wonderful weekend, not-so-amazing Monday

The check finally arrived late Friday afternoon. Mb ran me to the bank, then kidnapped me for the weekend. Having spent the last couple weeks "married to my mailbox", as she ascerbically put it, it was wonderful not to have that weighing on my mind

I'll be hornswoggled if the second mechanic finds that's what's wrong, since it went from running fine to not running at all without any drama. My bet would be something electrical, like the alternator failing.

Corgiguy blew up the engine in my beautiful teal-green Saturn sedan with a timing chain failure, and it made one helluva lot of noise when it went. None of this dying silently stuff, thank you. That was my one and only cool car; everything else has been an econo-box of varying sizes.

Having made a career of PoS cars, I've blown engines AND lost timing belts, and the events were nothing alike. Electric is a possible, too, although given the age and mileage of the car, timing belt is about due.
