Good luck Lindsey.....you're a young woman....we can do anything we set our minds to do!!!

Lindsey · 01-24-2009, 03:28 PM

Thanks Janet... I got it done! I just took a lot of breaks

Went outside and stripped some wire, came in to warm up, finished stripping wire, came in to warm up, clamped wires in the plug, came in to warm up, and finally went back out to screw the plug together

I feel all accomplished now though, fixing my car all by myself!

Good for you!!! I'm glad you didn't freeze to death

Lindsey you must forgive me for I am going to ask a stupid question? You wrote that it was warm out and you didn't plug your car.. WHATS THAT??? lol The cord missing ???

Lindsey · 01-24-2009, 07:36 PM

lol for my block heater, Gina. Most cars made in America don't even have them, but they are needed here! When the car gets too cold, it won't start

So we plug in the block heater to try to keep the engine from getting too cold. It has been warm for the past week (lows of only about -15 or -20 C overnight) so it wasn't too bad... but now we're back to a deep freeze! If I didn't get this done today, there's no way my car would have started tomorrow!

Good for you girl!!! Good thing you did it in phases so you could make sure not to get too cold yourself. Once again.......women rule....LOLOL

I am glad you were able to take care of it. I was really trying to figure out why you needed to plug in your car! LOL I just didn't think you would need it because of the cold but it make perfect sense.
