Last weekend I spent some time working on the Ogwife’s car, ther’s a leak that’s been evading me and I tried to find it, to no avail. Still, I got the oil changed and did some other normal maintenance work.

Problem was, I let the other car see me doing it. Usually, I just keep one car in the garage at a time, when I’m working, but sunday I wasn’t doing anything too difficult, so i left the truck inside.

Big mistake. Usually, I can go to the auto parts store and pick up supplies in whichever car isn’t dismantled, and it happyly goes along. Letting them both sit in the same garage, though, one got jealous enough that it felt it needed some money spent on it too. So today, on the way into work, the Exploder decides it needs a new alternator.

$300 later, (towing plus parts) I’m back on the road, and feel a kinship with the Goatse guy. Damned jealous cars.
