I must be stopped!
Monday, 26 July 2004 by Jacob TomawFor the 4th time in 3 weeks I left Contique’s headlights on and killed my battery. The first time was at King’s Island. I was able to get a jump from a friend of a friend. A couple of weeks ago I left might lights on after work, but noticed them on before I went to bed. I shut them off but she would not start. I was saved though in the morning because she miraculously started. Then last week I left them on again, and did not discover it until I was ready for work the next morning. I was able to catch a ride with my roommate and use his car to jump mine after work.
Then came this weekend. I parked in the long term parking lot at the Columbus Airport. As soon as I stepped in the terminal I knew I had left my lights on, but I did not have time to go back and turn them off. I knew the whole weekend that I would have a dead car waiting for me back in Columbus. Thankfully , I was able to be jumped by a nice guy who happens to be an electrician at an auto repair shop. He suggested I buy a better set of jumper cables. I am hoping I will never need to use my cables again.
I have developed this nasty habit of turning my lights on every time I get in the car. However, I never developed the habit of turning my lights off. Also Contique does not consistently ding when the door is open and lights on. Joscelynn says that I have spoiled Contique and I should put her in her place. She is always right, so I probably should. I am not sure what to do.
