Sounds like your battery may be out of juice. I would get a jump and see if it starts up.

Sounds like your alternator might be dead, or you have a dead battery. Take it to an auto store and have them check it out.



On another not, 20's please check your pm's, and set your options to e-mail you when you have a pm.
I have some stuff with the wheels you wanted, just look at the pms'.

So i have my car towed to my local Lexus dealership and find out they not only is battery completely dead but my transmission is resting on the FRAME of my car One of my transmission mounts collapased, and on top of that my PCV valve was clogged and needed to be replaced so all in all i spent about $350.

That's pretty bad that your transmission mount failed. Yeah I thought it might have been the battery, but good that they found out the tranny was resting on the frame.... bet that caused a weird driveshaft angle and some vibrations to boot.
