Default My Z died at Sonic Drive-in

So I go to see my g/f at sonic, after I eat my rotten burger, I turn the key & I hear my poor Z struggling to turn over.... then nothing, I tryed again & the turnover struggle was a lot shorter this time, So I get some jumper cables & someone tryed to jump it, nothing.... I decided to try a different car & bam! Car started... I'm not sure if the battery is dead or the rods (cant remember what there called) on the battery are dirty as hell, cuz they looked it...

Talk about almost having a panic attack, going to a shop tomarrow, hope she's ok.

Oh & then on my way home, I was on a busy 2 lane highway called 759, speed limit is 70 & this truck full of rednecks & a toyota camry were side by side,going 40! traffic was getting heavy & they seemed to be slowing down as they bothed talked to each other side by side... POS's were really making me mad, first I held the horn down for 10 seconds as a guy in the truck yelled out "come on! come on!" , then I decided to present them with my Z's beautiful bright lights, I kept them on, they started to speed up at this point while the guy in his truck was hanging out of his window waving his arm "come on ! come on!", swurved infront of me nearly clipping my front bumper, I switch to the left lane ,down shifted & passed him before his drunk *** even noticed.

Stupid people need to die....

+1. Be careful when leaving a bunch of electronics on for too long along with the headlights, etc.

And speaking of rednecks, that post reminded me of this classic!

Well...hope you didn't eat in the Z, because that would be an unforgivable sin.

I think that video is a staged thing. I saw it a while back and it seems like everyone pegged it as fake.
My wife is from Ontario, and southern Ontario is full of these types of superstars.

also I have noticed some cars cant jump a Z. my died once and it took 4 diferent cars before it started. found a v8 car to jump it the rest were other small compact cars.

do you have a system? did ou leave it on and dont have a capacitor? your batery will die in 15m if you dont have one hence why you needed a jump.
