my car is still out of commission because of the alternater.

i've changed it 3 times so far. i hate my car.

well the battery light comes on at first. then your lights dim. then everything goes dark and you get stuck on the side of the 135 in freezing weather with no coat for 2 hours. or you get stuck way out east in farmland.
 
well i dropped my dirty ace cougar off at my mechanic last night to fix the alternator. hope its not too expensive. i havent driven it in like a month when i started it up it was real loud. it sounded awesome but im sure theres a problem cuz it was never this loud before.
 
so my mechanic called me. needs new alternator. right axle boot is ripped. there is a CEL it needs to be inspected. but he wont inspect it until i get rid of the CEL
