I finally get out of Walgreens and my car wouldn't start.  My daughter was sitting in the car because she didn't feel well, she was listening to the radio and had the air on.  The car was on but it wasn't "started".  Should my battery have died in about 30-40 minutes?  This car is only about 4 months old. 

When I first tried to start it it didn't even act like there was a battery in it.  I sat there for a few minutes and then tried it again, it tried to start but wouldn't.  I called my Mom and my Step-Dad left to come get us.  I tried it one more time and it finally started but it sounded weak.  I was afraid that it would die as I was driving it home but it didn't.  When I got home I turned it off and then restarted it.  It started like it normally does.  Now I'm afraid to drive it anywhere because I may get stuck and no one to come pick me up. 

Start it up and let it run for a while.

The ac compressor and fan are a  big drain on the battery as are lights.  If you drove it for 20-30 minutes, you should be okay.

65° tomorrow, and above 70° through the weekend.  Spring is here! 

We'll probably get froze in one more time before the weather turns.

What you need is a nice family outing to your local Chuck E Cheese. I gather that is a lively evening out in Wisconsin.  :rotf:
