Default Left in the parking lot for 2hrs

Well its been a day with the '88 War Wagon. Ran some errands today with the Xj bc my cobalt is leaking gas (factory screw up), So I decided to take the wagon. I went to verizon bc of a factory screw up on my phone, then stopped by the store to see my girl and tried to leave and she didnt crank. So I thought it was the battery and spent $80 on a new battery and still no crank. So waited for help for an hour and me and the old man took off the starter ran down to advanced and got a new one and threw her on. But in her defense it was the factory starter from 1988. That was my day!

Its because you went to see your lady. Jeeps get jealous of that and something normally goes wrong. That way you end up having no choice but to spend more money on them than you do your girlfriend.
