Default Sighted: Requires it's own thread!

I got a call just before lunch today from a coworker at a building across the street. He said there is an S2000 here that won't start. So I walked over there and there was a MY '00 Silverstone/Black S2000 there with the hood up. The owner was in his 80's or 90's! Said he had about 5,000mi on it! I tried to help him, but the battery was dead so not much I could do. Appeard to be the orignal battery!

Damn, maybe the car not starting was a blessing in disguise for him.

Naw, I am sure he got it going again. It was the original battery after all.

Get that guy a Yellow-Top!
