Unhappy

hey whats up my cars been shutting off on me a couple of times (not like everyday), the first time the battery died so i chargedd it up and the car works good. Today coming home from school (finally took my car to manhattan), then driving home evthing is good so i stopped by the bank to get some cheddar to put gas then when i walk back to the car the car is dead. The llights inside werk the radio the power windows but theres no crank when i turn the key?. i hear like a fan noise. so i trry a few times and nada. so i open the bay and start like pushing in anything thats has a hole (d0esnt sound right, sound like im finger ******* my car) then i get back in its like the rotary gods smiled on me and let the car turn on. maybe it was cause i stopped by the mazda dealership in the hoood b4 i got to the bank. Looking for a new job so i can curse out my boss at autozone lol



let me know what u think. could it be the alternator or the starter. either or will rape my pockets. and my pockets i tell u aint deep enough so its gonna hurt
