Well, not so fast. AAA's computers were down and they did get me towed until ~2AM. Instead of waiting for 2nd guy, I opted to call campus security and get a ride home and mark the car as "don't bother me". I called the dealer and they want 3,500 BEFORE TAX. Seems they don't do R&R - they only replace with a 2,700$ prebuilt.
Hmmm... You say aamco is 17 miles away? I'll call them - it says "towing with service" so I might as well. I guess I can get a ride when they're done.
The saga continues. We had a nice 45 minute walk this morning. It's spring! The cherries are in bloom. Pretty. Kept me from hating GM all they way to the office :-)
Cheers,
