1. Leave your old 2008 Honda Accord undriven for a month or so in the driveway.
2. Drive a very short distance to the high school parking lot.
3. Spend a long time teaching her how to turn on the lights, the blinkers, the wipers, etc.
4. Do step #3 without actually turning on the engine
5. Have her finally crank on the engine to take a little drive around the parking lot only to find out the battery is now very dead.
If only I knew something about batteries, alternators, or electricity, maybe I could have seen this coming! *sigh*
(I, of course, just left the car sitting there for a day or so while I slowly extracted the old battery (well used from 2014) and replaced it with a new one in the parking lot. It took me more trips back and forth from home because I compounded my idiocy by not bring the right wrench or any WD-40 the first time...)
