    Don't you guys carry portable battery chargers? A new battery? It couldn't be charged? I don't understand is this a newer car thing?

    Alternator and battery...also had them do the timing belt...this on my 2005 highlander, not so new...but still a lot of extra electronics.

    And it as I know, it could've been worse.

    I'm not afraid of a little hard work. Thanks for the offer though. It would have been nice to have someone hold a umbrella. Haha

    That is usually what happens when a alternator goes out unfortunately. Such a large strain on battery trying to run the car. Glad it wasn't to serious.

    I spent 12 hours in a vehicle today with my dad his dogs and my nephew. Kitten bladdered candy azzes had to stop 4 times. I want to punch them all. My citidiot nephew every single time we stopped we waited at the vehicle for 5 minutes before his entitled dumbazz could casually stroll out.

    Can I bet it was winter? We have the chargers, though to my utter surprise haven't needed it . I drive just once to every other week and battery has been fine sitting in our cold temps. You'd think I'd have some battery issues.

    I'm generally an ahole about disclosing my race on any documentation. New work admin stuff asked me my ethnicity. I put down I won't disclose. So I'm looking through rest of the website and it shows that someone has to do a "visual survey" of my ethnicity. LOLLLLL

    People posting tough guy pics from war zones and even in America. Ain't nothing cool about war, killing people, ballistic vests with tough guy patches when the intent is to glorify killing. No one cares about your gloves with knuckle protection or your "Go" bag. Social media is even making war a cool thing to post about.....
