Oh, No! Your Car Won't Start?
Situation: You're running late, you rush outside, you jump in your car and — oh crap — it won't start. Ugh. Of course it won't.
Feelings: Frustrated, annoyed, mad.
Goal: Calm down a bit! Get inside, make yourself something delicious and chill in your comfortable, air conditioned house while you wait for the tow truck to arrive.
Car trouble is the worst. It's expensive and a total hassle.
The last thing you want to do now is spend a lot of time and drop some serious cash in your kitchen.
