Thanks for further tips (cv joints).

The mechanic suggested that I charge up the battery and drive the 4.5 miles to his shop to have alternator and whatever replaced just on the battery. That makes me nervous so I will probably just get CAA to tow it there.

I figured it would probably cost around $2k to get the car back in good shape, so starting with the alternator and seeing how that goes is a beginning for me. Could try to sell it but we would get so little that it would not be worth the trouble.[img][/img]

I keep hoping we could make it last a couple of months and then just escape for the winter
