I own an 1997 Saturn SC-1 coupe. Despite a somewhat WIDE turning circle and a ravenous appetite for alternators (about one a year), I like this car. I gets halfway decent mileage, it's low to the ground, it handles well.
But, I have been annoyed by the citrusy bouquet of its electrical system. Altenators really should last for, like, five years. So, when my car died on Friday, I'm thinking, time for lemonade again?
But no. Not this time. This time it was mice.
...beat...
You read me right, pal. Mice. Fucking MICE have taken up residence in my engine block and taken to chewing away at the electrical wires.
Other than that, it's a hell of a day. I can't believe I voted for Dennis Kucinich. I think I just wanted to give "Return of the King" a real clean sweep by voting for a hobbit. Besides, Frankenkerry's got this thing. If he didn't, I'd swing with him. One for the team, did my time, fuck off Ralph, I'm VOTIN' DEMOCRAT!
