Oh yeah, I was going to write a little about my dead battery:
It was a Sears DieHard, and it died....hard.
Last night my brother came over to borrow my spare car, which I haven't driven in 18 months. I didn't have it registered, but I did take care of that at lunch yesterday. I was a little worried, since I hadn't started it up since I got my PT Cruiser. We jump-started it and it ran for a good 15 minutes, and then just died. It wouldn't even jump again. So I drove over to Wal-Mart and picked up a new battery after consulting my dad, who said the battery was most likely toast after sitting so long. He was right, as usual. Put the new battery in and it fired right back up. I'm glad I never terminated my insurance for it, because he really needed it right away, since he's started a new job already this morning in Spokane and had no other way to get there.
