One day not so long ago my car would not start. Tried to jump it, ruled out all the "common" problems as to why a car won't start. After it failed to jump start and about 100 attempts at turning the key and saying "come on". It started! After about a week of this going on and my mother and my 3 children stuck in the Walmart parking lot for 3 hours, later.. I have the car towed to a shop and and they told me the starter was going bad and it would cost me $850 plus the tow bill to fix it! FML!! Get the car home and my buddy replaces the starter for $250! Woo hoo.. problem fixed! Yeah not so much... Here we are 8 weeks and 15 burns on my hand later. I have to open the hood and wiggle the wire attached to the starter every time or the car won't start!
