Thanks, all. I bought the battery from a BatteriesPlus in Georgia, where I purchased the car. There aren't any BatteriesPlus in New York so taking it back isn't an option. I'll try jumping again, waiting longer than a few minutes. I did try to jump it a second time. I waited close to 5 minutes on that attempt, but still didn't turn.

The issue may be a drain. I have an aftermarket radio that may be causing it. Also, there was some battery fluid (very little) on top of the battery. Maybe it is bad, who knows, I might just push it to the shop and let them deal with it.

I also just noticed a huge puddle of oil underneath the car. It has never leaked oil before. I guess I can't let this sing sit for a few days ever again. Bad way to start 2010.
