This sucks. On my way to class in the TGP. Apparently the battery cable wiggled its way loose so the battery didn't charge the entire drive. Came to a stop and the car died. Won't restart.


Waiting 45 min for a friend to drive out from Danville.

Sounds like you need to hit Costco and pick a battery jumper pack for $80! It'* saved my butt many a times!

I second that. I used to carry one around before I installed the second battery.

I didn't even bother going to class. By the time I got a jump, I was an hour and a half late for class with another 45 minutes to drive....

Yea, it was funny. I had my laptop with me and my phone. So I pulled out my laptop to get on the internet and the battery was almost dead (from tuning). So I pulled out my phone, and it was almost dead. I had 3 dead batteries.
