I didn't drive my car for a couple weeks and discovered today that it wouldn't start. Tried jump-starting but I could only get some wheezing out of the engine. I guess my battery is so discharged that it's absorbing most of the current from the helper. Should I get a charger or is my battery fucked?

when was the last time you changed your blinker fluid

You can't know if the battery is fucked unless you charge it

short circuit the + and - using your erect dick
if it feels funny, battery's good

get a wire brush or sandpaper and clean the shit out of the battery posts and connectors and try to start it. Sometimes it's just a bad connection bc of corrosion.

how old is the current battery?

You're probably going to get better help on >>>/o/. Sounds like your battery has bit the dust, but before you give up entirely:
>Get a friend with another car
>Hook up jumper cables (remember that black cable is going to the engine block on your car, or anything metal, not the negative terminal directly
>Have it running with the headlights on and give it a little bit of gas, not much just a little to being the revs up to like 2000 and keep them there
>Do this for about 45 seconds to a minute
>Turn the key again and try
The little battery powered packs are better than nothing, but sometimes you need the help of another car's charging system.

When you say wheezing, do you mean it tried to start normally, or you just heard the fuel pump buzz a bit and then a click?
