My former roommate, the former mechanic, and I took a look at my car which lurched to a sudden stop outside of the work parking lot yesterday afternoon. Basically, the half-axle became a quarter-axle by snapping in half, the CV joint flew back into the engine compartment, and now when the engine goes to turn the axle it instead rattles around a broken bit of metal no longer attached to anything. Um, wow. This could be it for the green beast so I guess it’s time to get reacquainted with the bus and get A LOT of reading material.

Consider taking Andy and Wendy’s old car when we do the car shuffle up here which I’m hoping to be sooner rather than later. I was planning to trade it in but don’t have to.
