Default Need help quick!!

Vette died at car wash. Had it towed home, it is sitting in the street and a Noreaster is on the way and my island floods to the mailbox. Help!!Heres the deal. Waiting for the carwash bin to open(get salt off of car). Turn the vette off to get change. When bin opened I went to start vette(98MN6). Nothing. Starter wouldn't even engage. Checked battery cables, checked codes, nothing. Cleaned key, nothing. Slipped foot behind clutch to engage switch, nothing. 3 hours later had it towed home. New battery, currently reading 10.5 volts(tried to start a million times). AANNYY IIDDEEAASS!!!!!Going to try again, will be back soon.

10.5V is your problem. Battery is toooooo low to start engine.
