It's all about timing.

As you may know, I haven't driven my own car in close to 2 years now. I've been trying to donate my car since the end of March without much luck. The problem is where it is in the garage in my building. The company who the donation company uses to pick up the cars can't get to it with a tow truck. Since I haven't driven it in close to 2 years, it doesn't start. The battery is dead.

Last night, I had a friend over so we tried to jump start the car so that I could get it out of the garage and they could come and pick it up today. We tried and tried and tried to let it charge up and start the car, but it just wouldn't turnover. I had tried to push it previously, but that didn't work either. I couldn't even get it to budge. It was as if the brakes were locked on.

I went as far as to see if there were chains on the buildings mini bulldozer type thing so I could pull it out with the other car. At this point, is when timing comes into play. One of the maintenance guys is walking by and mentions they had been trying to figure out who's car it was because they were going to tow it. I jokingly said good, they can have it. I'm just trying to get it outside so I can donate it. He said he had a battery charger I could use, but unfortunately there really wasn't a place to plug it in. (we both looked)

Long and short of it, he actually needed a car. I needed to get rid of a car. He was willing to take it as is. He has the proper tools to get the battery out or tow it from where it is. It was a match made in heaven. I didn't want it any more, so I truly gave it to him. In the end, I'll end up selling it to him for $1.00.
