Nothing says Saturday like a dead Volvo at DnD

Yes, the Volvo is back in the shop...where did it die you ask? Oh, in the drive through at Dunkin Donuts! Yep, we were one car away from an iced coffee and chocolate frosted donut (for Olivia...no strawberry frosted yesterday!) when the car started to buck a little, then it just died. Yes, we were stuck there in the drive through until the guys from the muffler place next door (bless their hearts) came running over (seriously, 8 men came running over...you would have thought DnD was giving away free stuff) and helped us get it out of the way. We got it started up and made it home (barely) to call Volvo roadside assitance (high marks to them for coming to get it in just minutes!)
Then the car doctor and his 'car gurney' (aka flatbed truck) came to the house to take it to the doctor's office...the altenator (I know I spelled that totally wrong) is aparently dead...just weeks after it's last visit, and one month before the end of the warranty! So, mommy is once again riding her bike everywhere. Whoo hoo.

That sucks! You would have thought that they could find that out when they were working on it. Good thing you made it home though.
