Paul has this older car that he's been putting a lot of work into. He recently moved from California and drove back to Ohio, and unfortunately, he had some car troubles during the trip. It ended up costing him more than he had anticipated, and on top of that, he's been tight on cash because of the expenses of moving into a new apartment. Paul has the chance to take on some contracting work, but his car battery has been acting up. He has to ask someone for a jump to get his car moving every day. It's been a real hassle, and one day, he even got stranded at Walmart, of all places! He hopes to avoid car troubles, so he would love to get a new battery. That way, he can focus on his job and run errands without worrying about his car not starting or being stuck somewhere without a jump.
