I wish i had vtec for my 8...o wait I can, STICKER TIME!

 

note to self: Jump starting my RX-8 this morning sucked...

 

... ur battery died?

did u not drive it for a long time?

 

didn't drive it for almost 2 weeks and I think the trunk was left open for about 4 of those days.

 

why would you leave the trunk open for 4 days, now you have to buy another optima.

 

I don't have to buy nothin! (my english teachers would be so proud...)

The Optima is designed as a deep cycle battery so it handles being drained MUCH much better then normal batteries. Just jump start it, drive it around a bit and it's good to go again.

Car was moved 4 days ago since I was working in the garage and I somehow managed to open the trunk accidentally. I didn't catch it until this morning since it had the car cover on.

 

oh open but not shut, so where are the pictures of the meet or was it so not worth it?

 

my battery is probably toast...

 

You should be fine if it is a deep cycle battery. Cars have residual power draws that will drain a battery after a few weeks. Having your trunk open doesn't help, our trunk light doesn't turn itself off like the interior lights.

 

why?

 

yeah Rodger, you gotta figure out how to auto-kill that trunk light. That's the second time I've done that but fortunately only the first time it's actually needed a jump.

 

its the factory battery that mazda put in under warranty. I didn't see the point in buying a new battery until I had to.

 

I got a new battery per the starter tsb....

Our car comes with a massive battery for a 1.3 litre motor!

 

yeah but my car hasn't moved in almost 5 weeks so its probably toast

 

I'll get right on that boss....

 

lol, I wish I had a pet squid just like Jedi does...

 

don't forget the cover sheet on the TPS report

 

hahaha, nice sarcasm............yes indeed the RSX is unbeatable...........if you race it with my moms 86 mercedes
