I forgot to mention that I got my car fixed (partially) today. At least, the starter is attached to the engine block. It still has the fuel problem (it was acting up for the mechanic), but he can't isolate the problem. Could be a multitude of things. His advice: It's got 300,000 miles on it—get a new car! LOL You know it's time when your mechanic tells you something like that. Since he doesn't have any free ones to give away, that will just have to wait, though. *sigh*
