Lindsay, the auto mechanic!

So as our luck would have it, the battery on our older Civic died on Saturday, late enough for all of the auto shops to be closed. We got the car jump-started and got it home safely into the garage. This morning I called my friend Jessica to see if she could come over today and jump-start the car so I could take it in to get the battery replaced. Of course, the car was parked on the wrong side of the garage and the cables weren't long enough. So I thought I'd wait until Dave got home and we could pick up a battery and Dave could change it. But Jessica insisted that she'd take me to get a battery and we would do it ourselves. I thought that was pretty funny, because the only thing technical I know how to do is put in gas. But we changed it! And the car actually started! Thanks Jessica!

Impressive...you should start your own mechanic shop/pharmacy!

Wow! I'm impressed. I definitely couldn't have done it. Way to go!

I am so proud of you! Makes me think of all the car adventures we had in high school.
