.....my alternator finally decided to give out. Once I got up to speed it got better. Well, at least it didn't cost me anything...today. Now I need a new alternator.

Yeah, it landed ok. Luckily most airlines would change a part that they know is failing.

That sucks, sounds like a **** way to start a week. The tow trucks always take forever, I think it is just a policy of theirs. Look at the bright side at least it's an easy fix!

I'm surprised you didn't have a spare alternator with you.
