i really do think the alternator might be on it's way out, it makes some weird loud whining sounds from time to time...mostly in the wet.

However, this thing with the battery happened after the car had been sitting for a couple of weeks. I found it odd though, because i've never ever had a problem like this before, and with the beater the car has been sitting alot.
