Today after parking at work I realized one of the windows was down. Tried to turn the car back on (by just turning the key, no gas applied) and the motor didn't start, or even turn over, although the dash lit up. Tried it a couple of times and then pushed the gas once while in the "start" position and it started right up. It has been hot the last few days, over a 100, so a cooked battery is definitely a possibility. The gas thing is odd though, usually my car starts without having to press the accelerator.
Later this morning I will go out and measure the battery voltage and check the oil.
Any ideas what else this might be?
