Okay, quick question for people who know more about cars than I do.

[apocalypsos]

Which isn't hard to do, honestly.

Anyway, I stopped at the car before I made a run to the minimart to try to start it again. No luck this time, but when I tried to start it, the radio wouldn't even light up.

So, new battery, yis? Please tell me that probably just means a new battery. Just buying new parts is a hell of a lot better than, "You need to take it to a mechanic."

In other news, I'm currently downloading all of Battlestar Galactica up to the beginning of season three. Yeah, because what I need is another fandom. On the other hand, I can put it on the Zen and then go for walks while watching the episodes. See? I'll get exercise AND catch up on fannish pursuits. :)

It sounds very similar to the problems I had when I last (accidentally) drained the battery on my car. If you know someone who has jumper cables, you should try and get a jump to see if the battery is just dead, or if you actually need a new one. I know there is also some type of machine that will tell you if the battery has any juice (they typically come with those kits you can get anymore for your car with the jumper cables, the tire pressure gauge/air machine, etc.), so maybe see if you know someone who has one of those. I feel like there are some places that will check that for you, too. You can actually take the battery out and take it to Auto Zone (or someplace similar) and they can tell you if it's working properly or if you need a charge/new one.

I hope some of this helps.
