The Car

Good news: the problem is that the switch that tells the car the clutch is engaged is the source of my woes.  Which means I can replace the serpentine belt at my leisure (or, as soon as my dad and uncle are available to spend a Saturday monkeying with the belts).

Bad news: It doesn't exist in aftermarket.  Which means I don't get my car back until Thursday, at best.  Also, I have to pay dealership prices on the part.

The bad news, however, isn't that bad.  I'll take it.
