tried push starting it, wouldnt work. reeves said it's the ECM (ECU) and the radio might be bad too. they ordered it yesterday and it came in today, not sure whether it'll be done today or not. either way im pissed. what probably happened is that the battery was dead to begin with, but when we were trying to jump it, we fried the computer with too much juice. and now the radio is probably fried too. so hopefully this doesnt turn into a big cost issue. luckily, the car is under warranty for another 2,000 miles, phew. ill keep everyone updated, having no car blows.
