    Solve the "car won't start" puzzle

    So I go to help a friend who's car won't start today, battery of course is the first and obvious choice as the culprit, threw in a new battery..no dice, checked the fuses, no problem. What was wrong? It was towed to a shop and fixed. The first correct answer gets one years supply of White Castle burgers.
