yesterday, my dumb ass left my lights on at work rushing to get inside from the rain...probably didn't help that the battery in the car was most likely the original battery, 9 years old...got a jump at lunch, and the car started the few times I had to drive it after work yesterday, but today when I went to go to work it was completely dead.
I was able to get a jump so that I could make it to work, and stopped by afterwards to get a new battery. they were able to get it to the store for me same day, and it was about 20 dollars cheaper than autozone or advance
car is starting up fine once again.
thanks again, Dave and crew!
