I've gone 28 days and counting without a ciggie. Pretty proud of myself.
Also for the record all smokes where I live are around the $20 mark. I win.

Yeah, kissing a smoker when you aren't one is... memorable.

Car problems... my favorite. :?

Mine magically died on me earlier this week when I was at the bank drivethru. It started revving up and down a lot, I put it in park, then all of sudden (with the lights and everything on) it just went silent and was dead, this is with a brand new alternator/battery in from last month as well. It definitely wasn't like a battery dying thing, weird as hell. Is the engine about to go?

I don't know what to do with this car, take it to Acura for a tune up and a lot of major work, or fix up some of the other little stuff then sell it, and get something new. Either way lots of money, lol. I own this car and it's paid off which is the nice thing, but it's just been giving me nonstop trouble for two years now so I'm pretty fed up with it.

If the car "shut off" but all your dash lights and whatnot were still on, that means the motor stalled. That's not necessarily a huge problem. Were you able to start it right back up?

Indeed, it started up right away when I turned the key again.

So what should I look into to getting that fixed or looked at? Maybe that's the root of my weird revving problem I have, usually when idling. It seems to happen most often on rainy days or in the morning (caused by the dew?), huh. I've googled around for answers and such though, and it just seems so vague to talk about at shops. Kind of clueless where to start after the battery/alternator and radiator were all recently replaced.
