Total number of jump starts today: 4 (that battery was even stubbornner than I, hard as it is to believe!)

Total number of tows to garage: 1

Total hours spent at garage even though the initial estimate was 1 to 2 hours: a smidge over 8 hours -- but they gave me a 10% discount, and one free part that had a name I don't remember because it was soooo much longer than they had estimated

I don't want to think about the total. They kept finding other things wrong... *pout*

All told, I'd drather have taked KAK to the airport!

Tracey, I'm so glad to read that you got there safely. Have a BLAST! {{{hugs}}}
