Re: Ugliest Tibs around
All of my friends refer to my car as "THE TIB" because... no one they know or I know has one. Yeah, I'm cool.
I refer to my car as "Teh Sex" though because... it really is.

man i just got screwed over by an alternator too.
got it towed back to my garage with roadside assistance from my cell phone - free
took the alternator off and had it rebuilt for $75, and installed it same day.
from the time i took it off to the time i put it back on was less than 1 day.
why would you pay someone to do something that simple..especially when if you don't know what you're doing you can come to a site like this (or webtech) and figure it out.
i feel really bad for you that you spent $450 on an alternator, but it's partially your own stupidity not the "korean piece of shit"

The problem was, I was stuck an hour and a half from home and anyone I knew, I really couldn't just take it off myself, bring somewhere to get it rebuilt, and put it back on the car on the side of the road. I was stuck out there. The thing that does suck is that I have had the alternator off myself about 5 times and that I did have to pay someone else to do it. But like I said, I was stuck with no help out there.
