Dale, I hear what you're saying, but we got it there after two hours of jumping the car over and over and over again. We're in an apartment and most of our neighbors are rotating and barely here to ask them who they'd recommend local to us. We both work 29 miles away where there is an awesome independent mechanic that we use, but there was no way that car was going to make it there on the highway. We jumped it over and over pulling into parking lots on back roads. It took two hours to go six miles.

Unfortunately, you can't really plan where your altenator decides to go out.
