3. Dead battery? It can happen, but it strains credibility. My last "dead battery" was in the Johnson administration (Lyndon, not Andrew). Perhaps a smokescreen to cover a tardy airport arrival?
Actually, dead batteries are becoming MORE common with modern cars. There are so many electronics that are running and sapping the battery that it is a real issue. I read (may not be true) that a BNW 7 series that sits for more than a week it more likely than not to have a battery too weak to start.

I stand more educated. We have slightly older cars. My wife is a bit tired of having to stand in front and crank. :D
