I swear to god... don't ever buy a Mazda unless, maybe, it has a rotary engine. Their other standard engines are pieces of shit. Laura was driving the 626 yesterday over in Dublin and she got out at the mall... got back in it later and it was dead as a rock, the engine wouldn't even turn over. So I go over there, get in it, turn the key and it starts up fine... I shut it off and started it back up 2 or 3 times to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Tested the battery with my DVOM and it's fine, plenty of voltage. So not really knowing what is wrong with it, we go to get dinner since we're both hungry and right there by a bunch of restaurants. Come out 30 minutes later, and the fucking car won't start again. When the key is turned to the start position I can hear a single click under the hood like a relay is activating, and that's it. Not even a cough or gasp from the engine. Battery is still fine. I think the starter motor or the starter solenoid must be shot, cause it's not even trying to crank the engine.

So, the goddamn car is still sitting over in a parking lot in Dublin. We went back over there at lunch on the off chance that maybe fairies had sprinkled magic pixie dust over it again and it would start... but, unfortunately Never-Never Land must have the day off. So I think we're gonna have to have that DEAD PIECE OF SHIT towed over to Livermore so I can try to trace down whether it's the starter, or what. I fucking hate that car with an unrivaled passion. I just got the Cherokee's steering column all tight and put back together, and THE VERY NEXT DAY that festering pus-ball of a car that is "The Mazda 626" breaks down stone dead. Un-Fucking-Believable.
