I spent the past hour replacing the main fuel filter on the alfa

in a gravel parking lot.......

I went to the local autozone to buy some oil for the alfa and the jag and like a mile from the ‘zone the alfa conks out and dies. I pull into a parking lot and start it back up and rev it up to 2k and it dies. I do the alfa basics, fiddle with the fuses, hit the pump, jump the fuse. Nothing, so i push the alfa to the side of the lot and start the trek back.

after 30 minutes of walking i make it.

I grab a zesty drink, a filter, a pump and a box of fuses.

After laying on 90F gravel and creating a small environmental hazard I replace the filter and hope that it fixes it, I start the car and BAM it fires right up and goes to a 800 rpm idle. I rev it a few times to make sure it’s fixed and i start driving home.

AND I MADE IT.

I probably should of replaced it a while back

Eventful. Went to take my car into the shop and my sisters car that she was following me to bring me home in decided it no longer wanted to idle. Left her car in a parking lot, drove her home, and went to the shop on my own. I then sat in the shop for about an hour before my dad left work and grabbed me. We then went to where we left my sisters car and he limped it home. The bonus was that while he was limping my sisters car home someone needed to bring the BRZ home. So I got to drive his 2017 BRZ about 3 miles and it was wonderful.
