The shop called.
After nearly two weeks with a car not starting that's included such misadventures as: a failed jumpstart in the rain; a seemingly botched/unecessary home repair done in a windy parking lot; a battery pulled, charged, and replaced to no effect; and a towing job in the snow on a holiday weekend that, were it not for roadside assistance, would have cost me $250 alone; the diagnosis is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with Betsy Bean- not even with the wonky-shifting-in-low-gear thing she likes to do- and that her worst troubles were a noisy belt and a loose battery terminal.
I am equal parts pleased and mystified.
With all the money we saved on this "repair", perhaps we'll get that shimmy on the honda looked at and fix the no-windshield-washer-fluid-spray issue...
