thats not it, cars junk, totalled, sell it to me for cheap :D...
get a new battery, they wear out, its life, it helps to prolong the life of your battery if you dont use it while the car is not running, draining it and then recharging it will only make it wear out faster...

check fluid in battery, or just get a new one. MSP came with a small, shitty battery. Mine lasted about a year.

When your cars off, your suposed to go inside and listen to the stereo :D
You sound like the perfect customer for an optima yellow top that have extremly long reserve life.

are you kidding me 30 mins with the car off...what do you expect? Use ur brain, no car will last any longer than that with it being off.
Your getting tired of the car...so fucking sell it, we don't give a shit. Go buy a civic!!!

Probably no the best choice is battery reserve power is an issue. Those things have glorified AA's

if it can't last 30minutes with the radio on, then after 15, start the car, idle for a second, turn off. All growing up I was taught, if you're gonna use the radio in the car, turn it on everyone once in a while so as not to kill the battery. If it's really pissing you off, buy a better battery.

A while ago I got a power inverter and I was drilling holes in my car with an electric drill powered by the car battery. The drill ran for a couple minutes, then it wouldn't run anymore. My car almost wouldn't crank after it. (cool) I don't know what the point of my post here is, so I'll just put a picture of a pirate keyboard here

Reminds me of the joke about the doctor and his patient:
"Guy goes into the doctors and says, 'I get a terrible pain in my side every time I lift my right arm.' Doctor looks at him and says, 'then don't lift your right arm."
The question you're asking is akin to, "I stopped putting gas in my car, and now it won't run anymore! What gives? OMGWTFBBQ!"
Seriously, you're not SUPPOSED to listen to your radio for half an hour with the car off. Go inside already!

i have had my car off and listened to the radio for 30 minutes, only one time and i was waiting for my wife and fell asleep until she got there, but my car started right up. then another time i let her drive it to get groceries and she left the damn lights on until next morning, started right up, not really, lets just say i took the metro rail to work that morning.
