ok i think its the battery.... other than explaining the problem to blownchevy and him telling me a million times that its the battery....

i just went and tried rolling up my windows... and good lord... they took so long to roll up... definetly the battery... i wonder if i have a short somewhere that would be draining it? maybe the crack in the top of my battery isnt good either..
