on the way to school around 6am. Started off with a vibration coming from the rear, then a weird noise(I was thinking the clutch or flywheel). I stop to check if tire was flat, but everything was ok. Got back in the car and it the tranny was vibrating, I was slowing down quite a bit even though I was giving it a little gas, then the motor stop. Trying to turn the motor over, but it wouldn't start, but it was turning. Had a wrecker take it to the shop, just found out a couple a minutes ago it was the battery 
Interstate battery, wrecker service, parts, labor....$236
WTF!!! Ok, I'm going to have them check the alt. when I go pick up the car and see if it's not charging, but I'm pretty sure they might have already done that. Should I just get a new alt. just to be safe, say a 130amp one? Wouldn't hurt to have one, right?
Well, there goes some of my spending $$$ for my car, plus gotta get a new computer since mine will not start for the 2nd time in the past year(using roommate's cpu), so there goes $500-800. I don't want to pay to get it fix to only happen again later on. Damn this sucks. It's kewl though. I'm glad I had some $$$ saved up for times like this. Guess I just need to get school done with and worry about the car in another couple of years.
