So, I gassed up last night at a grocery store gas station and then my car wouldn't start at the pump! (It just made clicking sounds.) I pushed it into a parking space and left it overnight and then came back the next morning with my wife's car. I borrowed some jumper cables, and tada, my car started up immediately (and better than it has for a couple months). So I drove it home and parked it in my garage. It has been struggling to start some recently, sometimes making the clicking noise.
The dead battery is a Costco Kirkland battery that lasted only 3 years and it had decent specs on it if I remember correctly. (We don't have a Costco membership at this time.)
So, I need a new battery. I don't have too many choices in my area.
