because i have not been able to pay what has now amounted to $320 to tag my car, i finally came up with the cash. then only problem was,last eving, though i started it several times as it sat underneath its cover...today when i got the tags, the car wouldn't start. not only that, but the back tire was flat...not just "fix a flat" flat, but gashed flat. i personally, having been through this before, thinks it's either alternator or starter. thankfully, z got the donut tire on, and i'm told i can get a new tire for $12, but having had alternator/starter problems, we're talking hundreds of dollar.i'm seriously hoping it's a battery. because frankly, i might know much, but i do know the sound of an alternator/starter failing.

hey, on the bright side....my forida tags are legal and paid for...at least until my birthday in Sept.

some guy showed up at my door a week ago and offered to buy my car. maybe, just maybe, i'll see what kind of even trade me might take for it.
