My car died...
14 years ago
From the other side...
Yes, my friends, Our beloved "Grape Drank" has passed on. x3
In all truth, I'm in no mood for jokes. =|
Today, after flooring my accelerator, my Battery light came on. I thought nothing of it, since my car's electronic system always behaves badly in rainy weather.
Later this evening I went to start my car... It pulled it's "Dashboard lights don't light up and car won't start" game with me, so I moved around in the car and jostled it while trying to start it simultaneously, which thankfully worked, but that little battery light was still persistently shining.
I thought nothing of it and made made the 15 minute drive to my cousin's, where I sought advice from said cousin's husband. His exact words were "Haul ass home."
I'm glad I took his advice. My car's electronic devices (such as windshield wipers, turn signals, and other things of the sort) started to fade and slow down exponentially.
I could tell my car was about to die as soon as I pulled into my driveway. Everything was fading on the dash, and the engine was starting to sputter.
As soon as I got "Grape Drank" into the garage, she let out one last fart and passed out.
I tried to start her, but... she was already gone.
The way it looks right now, it could be the alternator, the battery, or just a short. Judging by how she died, it seemed like she was running solely on the battery's power, which was already damaged anyway, So, I'm assuming it's either the alternator, or that something was short circuiting REALLY badly. So, the way it looks right now is:
Battery: MAYBE fixable...
Alternator: No fucking way.
Short Circuit: Dry the fucker out and drive it again. x3
"Grape Drank" may be able to live again... we shall see. . . I'm just glad that I was able to be with her as she died. x3

*Tries to revive grape drank with phoenix down...*
O_O
*Grape Drank Wakes up, says "GET YO ASS OUTTA BED, YOU GOTS STUFF TO DO TODAY!! I AIN'T PLAYIN' WIT CHOO!! GET UP!! GET UP!! GETUPPP!!" farts, and dies again.*
O_____________o
Ok, let's not try that again... >.>
I can start getting rides from Miss Vicky again if need be done... =/
Well, the engine was full last I checked, so no.
Electric problems in cars Suck. ;n;
Battery got fried somehow.
It's either the battery itself, the alternator, or a short... I think
I still need to consult
Fail
Fixed
It could be the engine from how u made it sound, so dont purchase anything just yet.
I'd get a new battery first if you could. Or try and sell THAT car for another one if possible >.<
I know a car like Sarus's runs for around $599
I hang around
And we all know it's the alternator just by the particular symptoms.
I even started the sucker today to see if the alternator would charge the battery after 20 mins.
Nope. 20 minutes later, the battery was as dead as a doornail, and the car was ready to die again.
Other than that *big hugs and a kiss for good luck*
*Huggles, and flutters away.*
u know u always have the car fox
In all truth, I have to admit: I'm thinking about selling the sucker.
I can't afford the insurance, and I can't afford the gas (Mainly because I have no self discipline and I keep making 1-2 hour drives across the state to see various furies...) I mean, not to mention all the other things wrong with the thing. I know you'll fix them free of charge, but I don't even have the cash available for the parts to begin with, mainly because my money keeps on flying out the door in Gas and Insurance.
In all truth, I'm not responsible enough, or financially stable enough to own a car. ^^;;;
I promise, this time I won't be on the verge of falling asleep.
