Crappy Tire

So to make a long story short I was leaving london to drive home to Nova Scotia and as im driving (almost to kingston) my lights and everything just shut off, i lose power steering and everything and have to pull over to the side of the road where i guessed it was the alternator but after getting towed to a local canadian tire and having to get a motel for the night in the morning they said it was nothing and my batterey was dead so they charged it and on my way i went. no more then 250 clicks later same **** happens. so i get a new battery at another garage i had to find. leave there..........same **** so im on the side of the road getting a boost from someone and the cops come...........they tell me my exhast is illegal in quebec and give me a ticket........i get another hotel that night and im still driving as far as i can get then jumping it..........finally i get it to a honda where they tell me it is my alternator but of course they dont have one in stock so i have to drive another 500 clicks to he next honda to get a new alternator which i told the first canadian tire in the begining i needed. needless to say what normally takes me a day to get to Nova Scotia took me 3 days and cost 100 dollars.
