Monday the alternator came loose and the battery ran down on the way to work. So I had to get a jump to get home.
Yesterday the accelerator linkage broke and I had to effect a field repair in order to get home. I made a slightly more permanent repair, as described
here.
Thinking everything was fine, I set out for work this morning only to have the clutch hydraulics give out halfway there. I was close to Mercedes Benz of Tampa, so I stopped in there. They wanted me to authorize $300 to replace the slave cylinder before they would even take it in to look at it.
So I managed to drive it back home without the clutch, and will deal with it this weekend. So far I haven't been stranded, but it seems like this car is trying awfully hard!
