    i just had some smoke come out under my hood

    hey,
    woke up this moring and was about to go to work. so i start my car. my windows covered in frost so i can't see what is going on.
    next thing i know. my car won't idle.
    so i look out and there is smoke coming out under the hood. burning smell.
    my alternator was acting funny latly. so i suspected that it is going to die but i wasn't sure when.
    oh well. i got my other accord on the back. so now i have a log and painful day of changing alternators.
    Alex.
