The Bug flat out died on us last night. We were all packed up and getting ready to head over to my sister’s place for dinner and Stargate and when I turned the key in the ignition the whole car went dead. No warning. We went from glowing interior lights and happy dashboard to absolute darkness in an instant.
It took a bit of jockeying around and pushing of cars, but eventually we got things jump-started off of the truck. When we got to our destination, I made sure to park so that we could get a jump off of my sis’s car when we wanted to leave, just in case that was necessary. It was, as it turned out, and when we got home I did a quick block-circle so that my Wife could get the truck into a better position to jump things this morning.
So! The bug is in the garage where skilled technicians will pour over electronic readings to determine if the problem is just a dead battery or something more… sinister…
Or at least more expensive.
I’m hoping not.
Update – it’s just a dead battery. Still more expensive than I’d like, but nothing major and mechanical.
