Life lesson of the day: DO NOT ignore warning lights on your car and ALWAYS think positively.
It is not advised that you ignore the low battery signal on your car. Do not dismiss it as "Oh, it's because I just drove through a FLOOD. It'll be fine once it dries out". Do not dismiss it again the next day as "Hmm, something must be wrong with the wiring. I'm sure it's no big deal". You CAN'T dismiss it the next day when you're driving home at 11:30 pm on dark, foggy back roads with not a soul in sight and suddenly your radio shuts off with a flashing signal saying "LOW BATTERY". This is when you really have to admit something is wrong. About 2 miles later the gauges stop working and you start hoping you even make it remotely close to home. About another mile later all the interior lights shut off, the windows stop working, things get foggy (thanks 150% humidity) and you start thinking "This is exactly what happens in horror movies. Young girl stranded alone on the side of the road at midnight in a middle-of-no-where town and suddenly your car is being attacked by zombies". Awesome. As a last resort, you start giving your car a pep talk. "Ok, we can make it! You can do it! Just one more hill! Ok, we're on the home stretch! Yep, you just stalled. No worries I can see my house, we'll just coast home." Give it some more gas and it lurches forward. 50 feet down the road you're in your driveway thinking "Holy shit, I'm really lucky." Power of positive thinking, folks. I mean it!
