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.

\nIt 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.<\/p>\n

Or at least more expensive.<\/p>\n
