D. had a bad day

D. drove to NIH today to get signed up for his new job. He parked his car in the parking garage, and when he came out two hours later, it wouldn't start. He had left the lights on (will he get mad if I mention this is the third time he's done this and he's only had the car a month??) He got someone to jumpstart the car, but then it seemed to run rough. On the way home, it stopped completely in the middle of an intersection doing a left turn. Not good. He had to leave it there and go find a garage. He eventually had to have it towed to a garage and the prognosis was it needed a new battery and new alternator plus the towing. Let's see, how does that ad go??

One tow truck--$50
One new battery--$100
One new alternator--$200
labor to put them in--$200
learning to turn the headlights off--priceless
