If I recall correctly, you had to get AAA to jumpstart it, then you drove to the garage. I guess you could have driven it to a battery store and bought the battery (while leaving the car running) and then drove home and installed the battery (while the kids were still in the car). Or waited for me to install it. Overall I think you made the right call. I don’t think the logistics would have worked out installing it yourself, because it needed to happen immediately.

Next time you're out here, why don't you give us the 411. Is it something you can do inside of 5 minutes in an unheated garage in subzero weather?
