Monday morning when my car wouldn’t start I called around until I found someone (Nestor) to help. We went to Autozone and I purchased jumper cables (as every single person I know “had some, but I gave them to my brother/sister/dad/mother last week/yesterday/last night/a couple days ago”). I also purchased the battery terminal cleaner fluid and brushes. After giving the terminals and connections a thorough cleaning the car still wouldn’t start. Nestor gave me a jump and I went to work.

After work the car wouldn’t start again. Victor gave me a jump and it was off to Autozone. They did their little battery testing machine and told me it was “really low;” the guy mumbled something about “6 volts” I think. So, I bought a new battery and got out my (finally) handy wrench set my dad had got me for christmas eons ago and got to work. After the new battery was installed I took a close look at the old one and discovered that it wasn’t demarkated anywhere when it was installed. The little date and month bubbles were all there…untouched… So now I’ll go through my old receipts furiously this weekend (I’ve nothing else to do, really). Good thing I keep it all very well organized.

Although I can’t do anything even if I do find the right receipt – because it would have cost me another $15 to keep the old battery, so my evidence is gone.
