Bong Bong Emergency Stations Emergency Stations

[Imprezzed]

Okay, here's the situation. Coming back from the movies (Bad Boys II...awesome!) Pull in for gas, put 48 Liters ( A LITER OF COLA....Super Troopers) And I go to start my baby...and the engine turns over and dies. I'm thinking awww crap. It's 1:48 in the morning, the gas station is empty. So this guy somes around and gives me a boost. It starts just fine.


SO - it's either

a) alternator
b) battery

I'm leaning towards A because the alternator was making funny noises. The only things I have that aren't stock on the car is a Strobe light system (which was off), A Pioneer deck, and a 250 Watt amp. The amp is now disconnected until I get this resolved. So far, after paying 10-5 for my SVX, I've had to:

a) $1000 worth of front brake, suspension and CV axle work
b) $100 for a new driver's side upper window
c) $75 for a K&N Filter (the old one was shot)

Grr...why is my dream car so expensive! *Sigh*

EDIT: Does the SVX have a history of bad alternators? What else could be the problem?
