car not starting

my 2004 mazda rx8 didnt start this morning. it was pretty cold. the car went click click click.. i havent had my Rx8 but for a few months. I think its a battery but i know there have been some issues with the 04's flooding. I dont know what type of noise it makes when its flooded. i had to take our 3rd car to work so didnt get a chance to jump it.

anyone think its just a battery .. and a new one will jus fix it. has me worried could be bigger issue. all i got was click click.

thanks guys.

wow yall r soo fast. lol. this is why i came here first.
well good ill have my wife jump me off then grab a battery.

i love my rx8. just dont have any car sense but i came to this site and got alot of helpful tips on how to avoid flooding so didnt think i flooded it.(knock on wood)

i always let it warm up couple minutes and never stop until halfway.

thanks guys!!!

well it just may be that the battery lost its charge.. just jump it and let it run for a while. don't spend money on a new battery just yet.
