For those of you who don't know (most of you, I imagine), my car was having troubles. emo His alternator kept cutting out. That's like having an arrhythmia in your heart causing unavoidable periodic heart attacks. heart wahmbulance My poor guy... He was so brave about the whole thing. So we replaced the alternator, and he was fine for a little while. But then it happened again! So we figured something was shorting the alternator, but we had it tested and that's not where the problem was. Since we knew the battery was running the car, there's only one other place the problem could be: between the alternator and the battery. Well, that's exactly one cable. Nothing else is between them. So my padre ran a parallel cable, and voila, my car is all better now! Well, he still doesn't have much of a sense of speed, but I'll get a new sensor for that in a few weeks and he'll be good as new. rofl Yay!
