Steps forward, steps back in The days in the life

So, the car was running fin for me, and everything is going ell. I had not taken it out and driven it, but I had warmed it up a couple of times. I noticed that it would crank for a little bit of time before it would turn over, and in the back of my mind I remembered back to my thoughts about the starter maybe having some issues. Well, on Wednesday. I went to start it because I wanted to figure out what I'd needed to do with the front brakes to get them right again. Where they scraping? Or perhaps was the brakes "stuck" because they had been sitting for so long? I couldn't get the car to start. It wouldn't click or do anything. I think that it is the starter because the accessories work just fine. Lites come on, it dings when I leave them on. It has to be the starter. However, I talked with some of my co-workers and they both said, check the fuses. So, I will start there. The only other thing that I can think of is to replace the alternator. I have had it put into my heart by the Lord that I just need to save my money until the end of next month, and not do everything piecemeal. This way at the end of next month, the monday of, I can get my license re-instated, Tuesday- the insurance, wedensday-the radiator and whatever else I may need to get, Thursday-the emissions test, Friday- registration. Then Saturday the day after, I can get my brakes done and that's that. It will all work out in the end. Cheers, Cbj
