Moving Trouble
Right now there is a Penske moving truck outside my apartment with the hood up (which looks odd because it opens with the hood toward the front of the truck instead of toward the windshield) with about 4 people standing around it. One guy came down from looking at it and said to the others that he thinks the alternator has gone out. This is really not something you want to happen ever, but it seems particularly poorly-timed for someone who is moving house.

I'd say 3 times out of 4 when I've had car trouble, it was the alternator. So, at least by my limited experience, that guy probably had a good guess.

Oddly enough, my office mate had his car break down on him in a shopping center parking lot a couple of weeks ago. The problem? Bad alternator.
And Rvman, we could talk at length about other bad times for an alternator to start going out - like in 108 degree weather across West Texas...
