missdianeIt's 3F out aaaaaaaand my car won't start. I emailed in to attend the morning staff meeting via zoom instead. How annoying. The lights blink and tell me things aren't working but it won't turn over. Chances are it's a wimpy battery but google also tells me it could be thickened engine oil. I got an oil change at Valvoline when I could drive again after the surgery and we put in "the good stuff" so it better damned well NOT be that.
It's supposed to get near freezing early this afternoon so I'll try it again then and if it starts, I'll drive it around for a while but I won't do anything like go to the grocery in case it wants to get bitchy and not restart.
I got a new car last year for what, again? Oh that's right, tariff fears. Though it should be covered by warranty, I suppose. Hmph.
