oh for fuck's sake. i picked up my car this morning, paid $467 for it's newly minted alternator, and started out for the barn. got about 5 miles when the bucking problem started. turned around, and managed (barely) to make it to the garage and take wayne for a ride. this time, he felt it too. he felt the bucking, he saw the stalling. so it's back in his hands aGAIN.

meanwhile, this pretty well sums it up, for me.
