You travel down a backroad and notice a 263 horsepower hot hatch sitting on the side of the road with a bright pink sign in the windshield. Then, over the next few months, the hot hatch is still sitting there, for sale, not going anywhere. Something is clearly wrong.
You decide to call the number, take the car for a drive and realize the alternator is not alternating. Easy fix, right?
But, you keep your cool and reserve your dollars for something else. Yet, several months later, Husband Math tells you that your 16 year old will be getting her license soon, and a 4 cylinder car is much more fuel efficient than a V8. Plus, if all the car needs is an alternator then it would make sense to make an offer on a car that hasn't sold in months, spend a buck on an alternator, and PRESTO! you've just become an awesome dad to your kid, and an even awesomer husband to your wife because you just saved thousands with your impressive reasoning.
In reality...not everything goes to plan.
