P.s. No recent major changes to the car. I took ownership of it from my father. In the past 2 years, the horn has been going off in the evenings due to poor bushings seperating the airbag from the horn sensor.

I've temporarily fixed that using folded up business cards (amazing how well that worked!), but the battery did FULLY drain several times. It gave me absolutely no problems for over 2000 miles of driving it, which included about 60 fully cold starts in both boiling summer weather and 40 degree days. Until 2 weeks ago, when it suddenly just completely would not turn the car over.
