My car!
It has been warm for the past week, so I haven't been plugging my car in. I haven't even thought of it! Last night I got home from grocery shopping at about 8... it was cold and dark, and I thought yep, time to plug in! I went around to the front of my car, and reached for my cord. Where was the plug? I felt the cord right to the end... the plug was gone! It couldn't have ripped off.. it comes down under my engine and is TIED to the grill on my bumper so it won't fall and hit the ground. It was still tied there, just the end was missing!
This morning it barely started. It was close to -40 overnight. It was not sounding very healthy when I turned the key... I had to hold it for about 5 seconds before it finally started kickin. I looked at the cord... it was a clean cut. Somebody had to have cut it right off. I'm pretty sure I have nobody who hates me enough to disable my car! Must have been just some kid. My roommate's friend had the same thing happen to her last week too. I have no idea where it could have happened because I have no idea WHEN it happened! Anyways, I just went to three different stores to find a plug, everywhere was sold out. Of course it had to happen the day after my brother and my boyfriend both left town So I'm going to attempt doing this myself. It doesn't look too hard... but wish me luck! It's -43 degrees with the windchill right now, so I just hope my poor fingers don't fall off because I can't do this with gloves!
