Probe took a crap today. I think it's the alternator. If it isn't, and the thing still won't run, it might be bye bye Probe. But I think it's the alt. Won't be fixed until January at the earliest (after winter break).

The school has no heated or fully enclosed garage so I'll have to do with a friend's propane space heater and a little cussing. Well with a rusty 20 year old car, cussing will be on the menu either way.

Oh, and the school also doesn't allow working on cars in their garage. So I'll have to do it on the weekend when the head of security's not around to yell at me. He does literally yell at me. I pulled this thing up by the front entrance to see what was wrong, the thing wouldn't start and he walked out and started telling me to get it out of there RIGHT NOW. It doesn't run, you ******bag. Go do something productive. I mean really? People park there all the damn time and no one ever says anything. The minute I pull a wrench out... he's there like cream cheese on a bagel.
