Did she find anyone yet? Mine are in Katy, and I'm in Cypress. There's no way I could make it there before 8:00pm with that distance...

thanks everyone. Brains, one of her friends was able to come out and jump it. she took the car to Oreilly's and they tested the battery and alternator. battery tested bad and it was replaced for free because it had a life time warranty.

its a jumpstarter, a tire inflator and light all in one. I think they sell these things at Walmart but not positive. Sears would probably have one too. I got mine as a christmas gift so i dont know where it came from.
