My car didn't wanna start

Today when i was leaving PCC, i tried to turn on my car. it just make a sound like the engine was trying but in slow motion. i tried it again, the engine tried again and did the same thing. the third time i tried, nothing happened. i went to go see if anything in my engine was off and nothing was. then i tried one last time, then the car turned on.... then i noticed that my interior light wer on... dam it....

i though i did some thing to my car and would have to get it towed away. gatta love that stock honda battery...

Yeah...you gotta watch out for these things.
Do you park in a garage? If so then do what I always do...before you go into your house take a glance back and see if your car lights are off.

if the battery dies, it should be no worries. most college campus security know alot about jump-starting or just plain starting a car that wont work. when my sister gave me her 93 hatchy, the first day i drove it i left the lights on...they saved me. =)

That happened to me about a month ago...

I was getting ready to go buy lunch, I turned the key and nothing... I started to panic but I noticed that my alarm siren was low and my cap was beeping. I know my battery was gone. It held on pretty long considering I have a system.

I ordered an Optima from Batteries R Us on Oct.09 and haven't received anything yet. They keep giving me the run around. The first week their system caught a virus. The secound week the ran out and they were on back order. the thrid week UPS hasn't passed by to pick it up.


Thank goodness I work from home.

I work for a cruise line as a marketing specialist. My car has 37k+ miles and now is when my battery died. I thought it wasn't going to last that long.
