Alright, the car had been sitting there 1.5 days now without a start attempt. This morning I try to start it up to take it to the shop and it wouldn't start at all.

Every turn of the key results in a very short click sound (not even like an engine crank sound). It's the same half second click I've been describing from the beginning... the same click sound that happens on almost every first try to start the car... (you may recall most 2nd tries are successful)... This morning, it won't start at all - after about 10 tries. Under the hood, the contacts to the battery LOOK fine (not rusted, etc)... dad tested voltage to be OK (little above 12v I believe).

So is there something else I should look for so I can at least get it to the shop without having to tow it in ? I know I'm describing mostly the same things to you, but this click sound, with seemingly no engine turnover, should indicate something more specific to you guys... ? Thanx again for any pointers.
