that happend to my brand new 05 350z .. about 2k miles in.. I would start the car in the morning.. it would struggle to start and then die.
the first time it happend.. I had the car towed back to the dealership.. dealership could not find anything wrong.. Second time it happend.. same deal... dealership could not find anything wrong.
since then.. it hasn't happend since.. but keep us posted on your situation..good luck.

(P.S. I'm a moron because Sonic is a drive up, not drive thru)

Well I dont have enough $ to buy a battery yet (also embaricing), I spent around 2 hours putting the Z logo on my front bumper today, was a ***** to get all that gook off, even used goo gone but didnt help worth a damn, anyway I went to crank my car (after I cleaned the battery plugs) & damnit if it sounded weak as hell cranking again, I had to meet someone to eat & I told them "look after we eat your gonna have to jump my car", & yes I was right.. haha , so I'm tired of this damnit, I want a new battery now.... oh & I dont have a system, didnt eat in my car, didnt leave any electronics on in my car, g/f for 1 1/2 years, I live in Gadsden AL & you drive to the screen, press the button . I think that about covers all the questions haha
p.s. Sonic is a crack head gangsta haven.... ****ing scary as hell at night

i usto drive a beat up lexus ls 400 yr 1990, and i had alota problems including that my car would drain my battery when it was off, so when i get to it, the car is dead. i have a trick that you can use too. after your car dies and if you dont have cables or anything, you can do this.
1) first you take your battery out of your car, have a friends car and take their battery out of their car.
2) you put their battery into your car and turn the car on, and take the same battery out. i've never been shocked doing this, but don't take my word on it.
3) you will have like 15-20secs before your car dies, depending on how much electricity your car uses at idle.
4) you would then put your dead battery back into your car and it will recharge itself as your car is already on.
let me know if you have any questions on this.

I found out that I have a battery that they stopped making back in 2003
Something about "there's water in my battery" and my "water is low".... there's like 5 little twist caps you can pop off & see water in the battery. I need a new battery like now
