I got lucky and unlucky today with only 2 days left on my CAA membership, which I didn't think I really needed. I started my car and it died and had to have it towed a short distance to the local Toyota dealer. DEAD COMPUTER with only 36,000 miles (60,000k). Luckily for me that Toyota has an 8 year - 130,000 k. warranty and replaced the $650 part for nothing. Of course I had to walk to a payphone as just moments before...my cell phone battery died.

Wow, muzak, that's not a good day! Glad, tho, that the warranty covered the fix for the computer.

That's Murphy's Law - things will go bad when you least expect them to.
Keep your phone charged!!

Actually, Bike, Murphy's Law is "If anything can go wrong, it will." And muzak saw it in action on both counts!

Haha,
"when it rains, it pours", i guess.

It could have happened on a major highway or on the mountain as in last week when I put on 1,000k .
