So I'm on my way home from work and stop to get gas. I fill up, get back into my car and it won't turn on! I'm turning the key and it won't start and everything flashes and once I stop turning the key the needles go all the way up and then back down... So I call my mom who luckily was on her way home as well and a few miles away and we called a tow truck.

Here's a video of what my car was doing:

We should find out tomorrow what's wrong with it...


Edit: So turns out it was the battery that died....LOL. When we went to pick it up tonight, the guy was like it still had the original battery in there! And I was like ya...it was 5 years old...lol.

Anyways, for future reference for everybody, this is what our cars do when the battery goes...

We didn't even try a jump start... Mom didn't think it was the battery and the tow truck guy said it sounds like it's the alternator.

Re: Car Stopped Working...

I mean my mom was like that's not the battery.... And the tow guy checked it out and was like it's the alternator....

Nice! Ya, I don't know what battery they used or whatnot, but it cost like $175.
