Let me tell you a bit about my car...
We have a love hate relationship. When I first got my car, I couldn't have been happier.
Sure, it was a little red Neon with 250,000 km on it... but it was MY little red Neon.
3 years later, I still love my car, most of the time. It costs $23 to fill the tank of gas, is small enough to weave in an out of traffic and park with ease, and it puts up with my excessive speeding and frequent road trips.
Then there are the times that I hate my car. Today is one of those times.
I came home Friday after work, and plugged my car in, knowing that the -40 temperatures would cause some issues. I figured, since it was plugged in the entire weekend, it would start. Maybe it would take a few tries, but it would start, right?!
Wrong. We tried starting it several times, tried boosting it, and then pushed it into the warm garage for the night. And yet still, this morning, it wouldn't start.
The battery is brand new, since a few weeks ago the other one failed me.
My car is slowly falling apart, and there is no chance I can afford a new one.
Even worse, I work out of town, so it's not like I have any other way of getting to work.
Please, pray for my Neon, during this time of harsh winter weather. Like car, like owner. Neither of us know how to deal with the cold.
