Kim’s car won’t start. Needs a new battery.

Posted by David (aka David) Apr 9 '20, 19:11

We don’t need two cars right now. We honestly can’t decide whether to fix it or wait two months.

Responses:

Just pop the hood of someone else’s car and take theirs. They don’t need it anyway right now. -- nm - Qale Apr 9, 19:51
Even a jumpstart didn't fix it? Strange. Got a trickle charger? - Beryllium Apr 9, 19:31 2
- You’re not faking it great. -- nm - David Apr 9, 19:38 1
  - Thanks for noticing. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 9, 19:48
I picked my car up from the mechanic today. It needed to be fixed, but in hindsight it could have waited since we’re both home. -- nm - kelly Apr 9, 19:30
If you aren't in a hurry, watch the prices and jump when you see a good one. -- nm - Bacon Apr 9, 19:28 11
- It’s more about pandemic fears. -- nm - David Apr 9, 19:40 10
  - Of buying one and risk getting sick at the store? Or not buying one and needing the second car in an emergency? -- nm* - Bacon Apr 9, 19:48 9
    - Having someone get in my car to work on it. -- nm - David Apr 9, 20:19 6
      - You can't do it yourself? -- nm - . Apr 9, 20:52 4
        
        Switch a car battery? I wouldn't risk it on a vehicle my wife loves. -- nm - David Apr 9, 21:12 2
        
        Swapping a battery is simple. Alternator, not so much. -- nm - Reagen Apr 10, 05:21
        
        (And there's a chance it's the alternator/starter, which I can't fix.) -- nm - David Apr 9, 21:14
        
        See, I purposely did not go there. It's a guy thing. Like asking a woman how much she weighs, you just don't -- nm - Bacon Apr 9, 21:07
      - Gotcha -- nm - Bacon Apr 9, 20:21
    - "Leaving the house" I assume. -- nm* - Cuzzin Todd Apr 9, 19:56 1
      - I’m there. I straight don’t want to leave my house anymore -- nm - Pippy Janky Jenkins Apr 9, 20:15
