i suggest you not to drive your car a lot, thats if its the alternator. i was stupid enough to drive it all the way DT and stopped in the middle of the road during traffic. go grab a alternator from the the FS section and get it replaced and remember dont drive…your battery will run dry ---

Towing is a part of life so what if you die out. Swapping an alternator takes like 1 hour if you’re sleeping. And its not your front brakes that’s pretty funny though. Terrible\_1 it may be that on your car. The cable is probably not disengaing properly, won’t effect driving too much but should fix that soon. ---
