Yesterday afternoon I wanted to drive my car to the store, but it wouldn't start. It was totally dead and I assumed it was the battery, as the battery is quite old. I phoned Canadian Tire Auto shop and booked an appointment for this morning. I phoned the autoclub this morning and asked for a tow truck to be sent to my home. The fellow in the tow truck tried to jump start the engine, but the first attempt didn't work. He decided to kick underneath the drivers side of the car and determined that it was the fuel pump, not the battery. I managed to get the motor running on the second attempt. He told me not to shut the motor off until I arrived at Canadian Tire. It took them most of the day to repair my vehicle and $450 later, I am broke. I just had the exhaust system replaced to the tun of approximately $300 a couple of months ago.
I'm glad I had my photos taken by Walmart on Saturday, because if this had happened to me prior to going to get a formal photo taken for the family for Christmas, I may have had to postpone it once more. I am goint to shut down now because the words are not showing on the screen as fast as I type them.
