More Car troubles!

We have had a really bad day as far as cars go! First, my van wouldn't start at the school parking lot, then Nick's came home from work and said, "I bet it will just start right up for me." He didn't have any luck because my starter had died. He then called around to about ten auto parts stores and finally found one that had one in stock. He dashed up to the auto part store bought the part and then went out to his car and it wouldn't start! Someone at the auto store gave him a jump and he made it home. My brother-in-law, Sam, came over to help him and to our biggest dismay, the problem is not the battery and his car will not start at all! So, they left to go try and replace the starter in my van which is at the school parking lot and it is dark out! We both drive 2003 Honda's. They aren't junkers....I guess we just have bad luck. I may be biking Blake to school tomorrow. At least it is only a mile away.
