You are now a member of the DBS crew. Congrats. It is probably just the battery not being able to give the car enough juice to turn over and you hear all the relays clicking and such. Jump it and see if it starts.

battery problems

Clean,,, and make sure the battery cables are tight, they do loosen up, I see the newer models went to the old style battery, and cables(less likely to corrode, snd loosen up) If the car stands a few days a week or longer get a maintainer charger, vetts do use battery power while parked, for a few days at a time.
