Default Car won't start....is this a jump situation?

So, I haven't driven my car since last Wednesday due to shoulder surgery and vicodin. But the other day I put seafoam in the crankcase and some in the fuel tank. I started the car up gave it a few light revs, let it run for a bit and shut her down. Now, I'm guessing its been about four days since then, and I tried to start it up today...no dice

all the electrical works, lights, stereo etc...the car is buzzing but won't turn over....probably just need a jump right?

Sounds like it, does the starter act like it wants to work but sounds weak and wont turn over? Since its a manual go bump start it!

Sounds like a battery broseph. Mine did the same thing last month. Just out of the blue it was dead. I daily drive mine. It had only sat for 2 days over the weekend and wouldnt crank on Monday. Would not charge either. Had to buy a battery. I also have an '07.

You can buy a couple of Motorcrafts for the price of an Optima. That price tag hurts my feelers.
