We were supposed to be on our way to San Diego and Comic-Con an hour ago. Instead I am posting this from the parking lot of Pep Boys. This morning, with Wonderful Husband's car packed and ready to go, we discovered it wouldn't start. Okay, my dad had commented it was having battery troubles. So we put my car on the trickle charger, which I really should have done once we got back from vacation, but figured I'd wait to do until after the con. That was taking too long, so we called AAA far a jumpstart. And the guy came, checked the battery and said if we turned the car off we might not be able to get it going again. And that not only did he not have the battery for my car (a 2008 Honda Fit), but that they don't make them anymore. So here we are.

...And Wonderful Husband just came out with the Pep Boys guy and said they don't have my battery either.

No, wait, they do after all. Hallelujah!

ETA: Pep Boys guy checked everything, said battery is sound and the car just had a loose cable. No charge, they even topped up the tire pressure, and we're on our way only an hour and a half late. Very not impressed with the guy AAA sent.
