Well then, just a few weeks after we get Ody back my mom takes me to my first violin lesson today. Afterwards we went to the local Target to pick up school supplies and as we went to the Walmart Neighborhood Mart for eggs, the Ody started cutting out and intermittently stalling. My mom coaxed it to a parking space and called my dad before we went "shopping", meaning we get groceries and I have to try on a bunch of stupid outfits. I was in a huge, construction worker orange jacket when my dad came, and we went back to the car, which had resorted to starting and shuddering but not moving. Both my parents tried to rev it but, yeah, nothing. So we went home in the V70 (pic below of me washing it this weekend, Volvo brake dust gets everywhere...), which has been a saint through all these troubles. If the problem is in the engine, we're covered under a 6 month warranty. If not, we're screwed. This marks the first time Ody's ever left us stranded, but at least it didn't do it on the highway. Its being towed to the dealership tomorrow and is sleeping at Walmart tonight... School's just starting to pick up too...
