More fun with Cars….
Posted by Thomas on 13 Jul 2006 | Tagged as: General Ramblings
Yeah.. I’m not good with cars. As in, they suck for me.
We got back from our trip, and it seemed like the battery in the Ford Explorer was dead. Then, of course, we didn’t have the right sockets to get the battery off. Turns out it needed metric. (Go figure.)
Then, it turns out that the battery acid had eaten through the cable. Whoops.
Oh, and of course, it’s not just a regular, $10 battery cable. It splits off 3 times, and needs to be a dealer replacement part, as Checker or Pep Boys doesn’t even have the part.
From the dealer? $176.00. This is just for a positive battery cable. Crazy.
Luckily, my Uncle has connections, and we got it for $110. Still crazy.
Other than that, same-o, same-o. Attempting to stay cool when we’re having very high temperatures here in Arizona……
