UG!

This was my car Yesterday...

Yeah it sucked. What a JOKE.

Here's what happened:

I woke up, did my normal routine of going to work, got all of my stuff together to head home to West Jordan for Jeff's birthday, went out to my car and it wouldn't start. Wouldn't unlock either. Finally I was able to get into the car, but it still wouldn't start. And the horn kept honking and the alarm kept going off. SUPER ANNOYING. So my dear Kristen brought her car around and we tried to jump it. Jumping it made the heat and radio turn on, but not the car and the engine wouldn't turn over. In distress I called work to tell them I probably wouldn't be able to come in today. Called mom. Called hyundai. Called the tow man. Luckily, my Hyundai gets free towing for 5 years... so it being an 07, I have free towing until 2012. Thank goodness. So the tow guy comes, and he was a character. Kept shaking his head and mumbling about how he wasn't going to be able to tow my car because his truck was too big and our hill was too narrow and such and such. On and on and on. Finally I asked him what do you want me to do because obviously I can't bring the car down to him, which then made him suck it up and get the tow truck up the hill and towed back down. We honked on the road the whole way to Hyundai. I had Hyundai take me to work and later that night got a diagnosis.

All of these problems were because my car was frozen engine and when we jumped it we reset everything, including the "security breech" thing. Which put my car into "panic attack" mode. So it shut down completely. Good news is, it was not the alternator or starter or the battery like we thought it was, so it did not cost me an arm and a leg.

Bad news is, I feel totally dumb.
