The context of the following conversation is Alex's car had stopped running because of the engine, so Alex pulled the engine apart.:
Alex says I can't go to the ballgame today. I'm working on my car..
The friend responds Did it break down again?.
Alex responds Yeah, it's a Jaguar so it is what it is. It stopped running completely so I took apart the engine..
The friend responds Did you find out what was wrong exactly?.
Alex responds Not yet. But I'm sure I'll figure it out by the end of the day. Hopefully I can get the parts I need..
The friend responds Well if you need a ride to the auto part store just let me know..
