LOL!

I suspected it was the starter when Mr. Bill was towed around the block and successfully started on the third leg...

And after learning about race cars, headers and starters in close proximity, I have been pricing starters all day, and have found they will cost, with core charge and without tax, a minimum of $120.

I don’t quite have enough left to get it and pay for the starter AND the labor, but payday is only three weeks away! I had to upgrade the AAA membership in order to have the vehicle towed to the mechanic, and the wiper blades were a necessity with the weather we’ve been having.

And then there are the incidentals, and ... well, shoot...I don’t quite have enough to make it all work. I also ordered the Haynes Manual, and that wasn’t as cheap as I wanted it to be!!

A rebuilt starter might be cheaper.

$120? Seems steep, but this is an old Geo, so it’s possible....

A little better, but not much if you add shipping.
