For The Love (And Dearth) Of Public Transport


Q: How many jump boxes does it take to start a very dead car battery?
A: Two.
I found that tidbit out from the upstanding folks at University Volkswagen, who kindly wrote the diagnosis on the repair bill. It continued:
“Found the serpentine belt cracked and glazed severly [sic]. Possibly slipping on alternator pulley and not keeping the battery charged up. Replace blet [sic] and verified repairs.”
Forget writing. I want to be a car mechanic when I grow up.
Especially if they all make as much as the total I see on my bill. Who needs spelling when you can charge $400 for half a day’s work? Not including towing?
Buh-bye, Beetle. I’ll never leave you alone for a week again.
