Don’t you hate it when you wake up in the morning, already regretting the day to come? You do your morning routines. Slowly wake up in the bathroom. Brush your teeth, fix your hair (scalp for me), get dressed, make your way through the house.

Make that first cup of coffee, because it’s cheaper than getting it on your way to work, and you decided to be better with your money so you don’t have to keep going to work and regretting each day when you wake up for the next 30+ years. Just me?

You get out to your car, and that’s when the bad news starts, when your car doesn’t! You try again and nothing. Did you leave the lights on and kill your battery? Did the alternator go out? Is it a battery cable, and it’s missing a ground connection?
