Had to get a jump after work. Got home, won't start again. 4.8V on the battery. Dealer 6 miles away wants me to drive it over so they can test the battery in the car. I can't jump it again. Call roadside assistance, they tell me the tow isn't covered and they wouldn't get the car to the dealer until after hours anyway which means I have to take off work tomorrow, I'm supposed to make banana pudding for 17 ppl for our cookout. Plus I'm not keen on getting towed bc my car is so low.

I pulled the battery and took it up there myself, explained the situation and they covered it under warranty for me. 2 years old with 23K miles, it should be covered anyway but I wasn't sure how it was gonna go down since I didn't have the car there.

Once a 12v batt is discharged below 50%, they are toast. 6v batteries are a little more forgiving.

Oh yeah. I can't believe it started the first time.

Tacos and Ritas @mark23

Wanna come over?

Julie just told me to stop flirting with you, so you got me in trouble again.

I’d love to come over.
And she’s been jealous of me since we first met.
I have that effect on women.
