Crap, stranded on the side of the road today.

[Goat Blower]

After realizing that this old thing is probably never going to be worth more than $5k on a good day, I decided to take out the GSX and flog the old girl a bit in the snow. Ran great and gets around pretty good on 8-year old junky all-seasons, but I knew something was wrong when the stereo quit and then my gauges starting going dim. Sure enough, the alternator gave up the ghost, luckily it was two miles from my house. I walked home in the cold and went back and picked it up when my wife got home. It was fun to drive and put some break-in miles on the new engine, but stupid things like the alternator pop up, which makes sense since I replaced almost everything on the car, mostly with used parts from wherever, so all in all, I guess it ain't too bad. She does go pretty good at 10psi with no tune, and the stereo is loud enough to shake my fillings out.
