Is it the OE battery? You know the issues...
Regardless, a battery can catastrophically fail at anytime, most often while driving but you'll never know it until you shutdown and go to restart. A jump should get you started but if the battery is kaput you won't be able to restart it. Hopefully your battery is just discharged for whatever reason but suspect the worst and plan on a replacement.

My car is also a daily driver and the battery died about 3 weeks ago. I had the battery a little over 2 years. When I attempted to start the car, it made clicky sounds. I took it out and went to Autozone to get it tested and it was completely DEAD. I replaced with a new battery and the car ran great!! It was like installing a new tune all over again!! =-)

My battery died a few months back..I used the search function as 157 db is always preaching and found that the factory battery doesn't last more than 3-4 years, so doesn't suprise me yours went..I also remember reading about the shaker 500 draining the battery if you don't shut the radio when u shut the car off..I turn it off now everytime to be safe
