Another fine weekend for driving the Alpine. Both Saturday and Sunday
night ended with my wife and I pushing the Alpine into the garage :( .
Realistically I have achieved about a 1 to 1 ratio of fixing hours and
driving hours. I hope it improves substantially...soon. Saturday's
problem was easily remedied (a leaky lower radiator hose). Sunday, however
was little more serious. I was driving around for about an hour when the
LBC god noticed I had used up my allotment of driving hours (see ratio
above). As I tried to shift, my pedal went to the floor and did not
return. Although the pedal was fully depressed, I could not put the car
into gear. I had to start the car in 1st and drive it home at 5 mph.
(Thanks Chris Stephenson for your story about limping home like that in
traffic. I would have gone home for the tow vehicle.) I didn't check
anything when I got home. Now I am at work and am looking for any pointers
and parts I may need to order/purchase before I go home this evening and
crack it open.
