car trouble

my car is really pissing me off here lately... for about the last 2 weeks my starter has been going out so it takes me a few tries to start it, the guy that does all the work to my car cant get it in for 2 weeks to do a **** 20 minute job. so tonight im headed home about 10:30 because my friends went to eat and i cant turn off my car cause chances are it wont start again and i notice my gauges seem dim. well i get about 2 miles from my house and turn on the blinker and my cd player goes off.. once i make the turn it comes back on... since i am now on a back road i turn on my brights... it goes off again! by this point i am beyond pissed at my car...i look and see that my battery is almost completely dead so im driving down a narrow *** back road with no music, dim headlights, and i can bearly see my gauges cluster. my cd player comes back on but i turn it down and turn the bass off so i dont drain my battery anymore. once i get to the end of the road i can see my headlights getting dimmer and im thinking thats not a good thing. well i hit the breaks at the stop sign and lights go completely out, no cd player, no gauges, NO HEADLIGHTS... so being with the mood im in i say **** it and speed up going down my read driving all but blind because i know if the car dies this ***** aint gonna start again. i made it home, turned the car off, and went inside. hopefully with a little luck someone will steal it tonight so i will never have to see it again. im so fed up with it as soon as i get the **** fixed from the wreck its going for sale. maybe i can save up and get a z.

i dont normally talk a lot and im pretty sure this is the most ive ever typed on here but i just needed to vent.

yeah always replace the alternator when it's going bad. trust me bad things happen when you don't.
