Last weekend I went to Fry's to buy a DVD they had in their ad, and like the last two times I'd tried to do that, it was sold out. But that's just the lead in...on the way there, I noticed my temp gauge was getting pretty high. Checked my coolant, and it was pretty low, so I topped it off and all was well. On the way home I was almost run off the

Had the same thing happen to me a few weeks back.

The water pump was cheap, like $75 bucks.

Then the labor gets ya.

Yeah... That reply was me.

I sympathize with you about the car thing... My car just crapped out on me yesterday. It stalled out at a stop sign and wouldn't start again. Fun. But, like you said, maybe this is my third thing in the run, and I'll be good for a while (the other two were the starter and the alternator). Good luck with your car. Oi.

What ended up being wrong with it?

That's the trick, isn't it? Turns out they don't know what's wrong with it. Apparently, the car starts just fine for them. Gee, thanks guys. For me, though, this is just the most recent time it has stalled and then refused to start. Also, it will stall while I am driving 40 mph, and that is just weird to me (though I can just pop the clutch while I am driving along. The problem is when I come to a stop and it stalls). But what do I know? Apparently very little about cars. So the shop still has my car, and somehow I need to get back to PDX on Sunday so that I can catch my 7:30 am flight Monday morning. Ugh. I'll figure it out, but I feel like it's just unnecessary. Sorry for unloading here. Next time I'll do it in my own journal.
