Why was I right?

ME?! About cars?

So, on my way home from work, my left blinker stopped flashing when I turned it on, which means either the front or the back light are burned out. My blinker and my brake light are one and the same. Great. Last time that happened, I got pulled over the very same day. I didn't want to risk it, so after dinner, we immediately went to Auto Zone to get a new bulb.

I didn't know what kind to get, so I just asked the guy working. He looked it up on the computer and then got it and I bought it. We put it in and the brake light came back on. But my blinker wouldn't flash. It just stayed on.

I was thinking that he sold me the wrong bulb, but asked why it would suddenly just stop flashing even though the light was now working. He said it was probably something in my dashboard. Steve fought me about talking to them about it, but I knew that wasn't it. So we just went home because they were no help.

I decided to look in my glove box and found a spare bulb from when this happened last time. Steve tried putting it in, but it wouldn't go. So I took it away from him and put it in with no problem, and guess what? My blinker now works perfectly fine!

Loser at AutoZone sold me the wrong bulbs. :( But I was right! There's nothing wrong with my actual blinker because I knew there was something wrong with the bulb when the light came on but wouldn't flash.

Edit: I just got back from returning it. They "don't normally return opened packages, but weren't going to hassle me about it." Good! It's their fault! *sigh*

I'm happy my car is all better. :D

My gas gauge also went berserk after work and dropped down two inches past the "E." It's done it once before so I figured refilling it would fix it, and it slowly did about 10 minutes into my drive on my way home. I love my car. <-- Not said sarcastically. It's old, but it's awesome.
