Tell us what's happened to you recently (that's interesting)

Dealership called and it is going to cost $600! They said they have to replace the alternator and the battery. And since I was just admitted to the hospital for pneumonia, I feel like I have no choice in the situation. Part of the cost is $170 for the battery which sounded quite excessive to me (it’s just a little Toyota Corolla), and I mentioned to him that seemed high. He said I could buy my own battery and out it in, but I said I don’t really have options seeing how I’m hospitalized for who knows how long.
