Ideally , 3° on a liftback, starting at the rear axle.

That tends to reset its systems, and faults if possible.

F*CK. This. Sh*t.

I reinstalled the front belly pan and air dam, shortening the air dam an inch and a half or so. Drove up to a friend's house. On the way back, I was EOC'ing when the lights dimmed and the car would not start back up. Coasted to the side and called AAA. It was real fun to hear my mom's reaction when I told her I was EOC'ing. Real, real fun. Also real fun to sit in my car for ~30 minutes when it's 27* outside and I forgot my hat.

ALWAYS keep a blanket and a snack in your car in the winter. I wrap a CLIF bar inside a fleece blanket just in case. The blanket came in handy.

Suspecting battery or charging problems. GAHH I am going to test the battery and install the fuel pump. If those don't work I'm getting rid of the car. Having a car at college is a privilege, not a necessity. It's really pissing me off.

On the bright side, the drivers front wheel with the smiley face really, really amuses me

Glad you are ok !

And the moral of the story? Don't turn your engine off if you're not 100% sure your battery is good.

I think I have driven almost 100 miles on this battery so far... it seemed to be pretty solid. No real numbers but it should have died before now if it were already bad.

This, by far, is one of the neatest paint schemes I've seen on a car. I'd vote to replace the badger with a continuation of this...if you keep the car.

I'd vote for a digital camo scheme - these disruptive schemes are so 1940s

Maybe bigger if you EOC with lights on a lot.

[Sven7]

Cruiser- thanks! That seems to be the plan.

Modder- naww I like retro stuff.

Jakob- Is that a home built battery?

Looks like Tuesday is the earliest I can do something. My friend is supposed to bring me my old battery.
