The car died last night, maybe its just in a coma. Mom was on her way home and stopped off at Chipotle to get dinner, when she came out the car wouldn't start, turnover or nothing. She called me and then she walked over to a nearby gas station, which directed her to go to the Goodyear place across the street. When she got there, they were in the process of closing, but am employee drove her over and attempted to give the battery a charge. After two failed attempts, the employee told her to call the towing company his employer uses. She called and waited in the car for the guy to arrive. He showed up, got the car hooked up and towed her to the Citgo we use for servicing the car, it had to be left overnight. In all it took her two hours to get home and when eating dinner, we discussed getting an auto club membership of some kind. Both of us were glad of her decision to wait for a two rather than to try and duct tape a solution in order to try and get home and end up stranded on the interstate.
