Well this is funny!

So I'm in the car with my girlfriend... she points out that my brake is on.. I look down and see that it's not, now I'm thinking OK shes is trippin... So I tell her look its not on.. she points to my dash... The battery light and brake light is on... FUUUUUCK alternator is about to die... As this happens a civic that is all riced out rolls up next to us at the light. He's thrown revs n shit... So since the alternator is going I'm like Revin too... naturally he thinks I'm wanting to race... green light... he's gone... I stay, the fuckin alternator just went crap... LMAO :D DAYUM!!!!!!!!!

So no problem... pop the glove box call muh HONDA FRIEND (they are good to have when trouble occurs..jk). So he come... we push my crippled car to the side. Start to charge her up... have a few cigs and then go for a try... Nothing... we waited another 10 mins.... as this happens I see that fucker in a civic... he pulls down the street.. I thinking... fuck when my car is back to normal I need to go spank his cheap ass. So anyhow.. we get the car started... I'm revin it at 4 rpm's if it drops below the battery light kicks on.. sooo... I put in rev... then first then hit the same light! WHO IS TO COME PULLIN UP ON ME AGAIN! The CIVIC!!!! So I'm sitting here rev'd at 4-5 rpm.... he looks over and laughs and then I get pissed... I think to my self.. fuck this guy I'm taking him with my carpped out alternator.. Just dont stall out... LOL Green.. I launch from 3500 rpms... spinning everywhere.. Burnt his ass hard... I hit a turn fly in to my driveway and right as I park.. Alternator Dies!

Well at least I got to smoke that punk... so looks like I'll be cutting my hands up tomorrow. LMAO!

So any thoughts or tips before i do this tomarrow???

Get a used one from Andreas or a rebuilt from a dealer. The rebuilts sold through Autozone, Pep boys etc are not worth the $$.
