I did it!
...left the interior light on last night after detailing! So, when the neighbor pops over for a look at the new "baby" while I'm out in the drive with the other babies, imagine my embarrassment when WHAM no ignition.
Tried to blame it on something the wife did driving it last the "long" way to get a cup of coffee...NO LUCK!
After I couldn't figure out how to jump the Vette from the Tahoe (posts are tight as heck on the SUV), I grabbed the portable battery pack from the hurricane supply shelf and was amazed that it cranked right up off of that!
Even more embarassment after the neighbor and I struck out on the road for a quick "battery recharge" run. I get on it out of the neigborhood, go up about a mile, turn around, neighbor goes "Is that a cop"? Of course, my hand goes to my back pocket, no wallet, no "get out of jail free wallet" in the other back pocket, no "on the job" card in the glove box...Man, I'm really nekkid!!!
Thank goodness it must have been a "hot" call somewhere else b/c he didn't get "black vette" dispatched over the radio as I was able to tiptoe home and roll up the doors
All this cause I wanted my car to be clean...dumb I say.
