as i was driving home through union city, i was stopped at a traffic light and then all of a sudden my radio turns off and the car SHUTS DOWN!!! i put the car in park, turned it off, tried to turn it on again.....and NOTHING. and it's RAINING and i'm in the middle of the ROAD!!! so i called my road side service people, but here was the problem..i had NO IDEA what road i was on!!! i was near the intersection of about 4 streets, and none with a sign i could see. luckily i was infront of a post office, which helped with the location. a very nice man in a black honda stopped to help push over to the side of the road...no one else stopped to help. i was yelled at by bus drivers, honked at. don't people realize i didn't really want to be stopped in the middle of the street, and if i could move i would!
after about an hour the service guy found me and we jumped my car. by that time peter had also found me and he followed me home. the car worked all the way, and i started it again about an hour later. but this morning i'm on the hunt for a new battery, i think. i will not be suprised if i need a new battery, as i still have the one the factory installed. hopefully that is all that is, though it's odd that the car shut off while i was driving. weird. but we'll see what my friendly automotive specialist has to say.
let's keep our fingers crossed.....
