Hello Gentlemen,

I didn't expect to be back so soon, but here I am. Let me get this kicked off already;

My car was fine on the road, it was cool and chill and then all the lights switched off. I was like WTF. Then they flicked on and I didn't think shit of it. Next day, she cranks up fine, I drive off. It about 5 hours later and she starts dimming her lights and then.. BOOM, The car dies in the middle of the road. I pull over and don't know what the hell to do. I get a jump, she comes to life and I pull out and then she dies again... Then... She wouldn't start again, even with a jump.

I am thinking I just need to take her to a mechanic, but I want to fix this myself...

Your car is not haunted. Trust me, I'm a ghost hunter.

Check your alternator. Later, QD.

Shit, I'd hit you up for that but I am lacking serious funds. I'll PM you tho.

Exactly. Classic symptoms of an alternator gone bad. Later, QD.
