Did you end up getting trapped in your own home without a car until the repairs were completed?
Yes, I was trapped. As tempting as the excuse to skip work today was, I found a company with an on-call technician that came out late last night for no extra charge. It was a big piece of humble pie for me because I'm a major DIYer when it comes to home repairs.
