There we were, my dad and I. It was about 5:30ish and getting dark fast. It only took about 10 minutes to replace the fuel pump, but unfortunately it did not work.

Now what?

Sitting and pondering how we were to get my car home we decided to go back to the house and grab the tow ropes my dad had. We hooked them to the beam on my car and to the tow bar of the work truck we were in. I got in my car, threw into neutral and dropped the e-brake. He got in the truck and flipped on the emergency flashers. By now it was dark. We waited for traffic to clear and started our trip home. Thankfully it was only about 5 miles away and fairly straight. I got some pretty bad whiplash from the first launch and quickly figured out how much brake to hold to keep the ropes tight. It took about 20 minutes to drive the five miles home and now my car is sitting in its spot broken.

I made the decision to save my money and buy a new engine kit. I have to build it myself, but I wanted to do that to begin with. So I am going to use my work truck for now (thank God my dad is my boss). It will take time, but she will be back on the road good as new.
