    This is about the closest to an car from Mick Thomson, yet it's hard to say what it is exactly. What do you think it is?
    I can say that it looks like an BMW, judging from the body and the wheels.

    You bragged about it, the same way you've told multiple different stories about your family's Skoda, most recent being it's now your company car when previously it was your personal car and before that it was just your dad's car you borrowed. Oh and owning a challenger at one point too. Then the gpu thing over in computing where you've owned a 750ti for ages, queried if a 1080 is better, then claimed to have gotten one and it's a great upgrade, then mysteriously have a 750ti again.

    Theory: probably do not drive at all. Simply attention seeking and selling validation of e-peen

    *sigh* might have incurred badd damage to a car battery again...
    Left an interior light on for 5 days, not enough power to open the central locks. To make things worse this 5 day period had low temperatures going down to -7c! So battery is on charge, might jump the car later in the day. God knows how healthy the battery is.

    Pull battery from car, bring it inside, leave it on a float charger for 24 hours.

    It probably is indeed knackered, but it may still work again.

    it's been on a normal charge from mains. One of my mums friends had a battery tester and it didn't even register that there was a battery there! (yikes what was the voltage!) it'd be a real shame as the battery is only 2 months old :(

    Nah not just standard charge, float it. Basically charge it to 13.6V, then attach it to a fixed 13.6V power supply for 24 hours or so, can do car batteries a fair bit of good. Also used to be common to do that for the old lead acid powered electric milk floats, just keep the battery on a fixed voltage power supply overnight, hence the 13.6V 10 amp power supply housemate item

    If I had a 13.6v charger then I would, but I don't. My mums friend just said ive put the battery on charge, going to test the car at around 6pm, with a 12v booster pack just in case (just to get the thing fired up, alternator can do what it wants once the engine is running, I think it puts around 14v out).

    Hell, over here in MA/NH, rust free 90s trucks are more expensive than the early 2000s trucks.
