 But get this, my car welcomes me back less than a mile after picking it up with the battery breaking open and spitting acid & smoke. Good times.

Re: It's serious now...
Apart from having to go out and buy a battery, tools & gloves to change it out in the middle of a parking lot during a thunderstorm, no. That battery clamp is a royal pain if you don't have a deep socket. I ended up finding some needle nose pliers and getting it off slowly with those.
I spent the rest of the day putting odds & ends back together and cleaning the interior.

Re: It's serious now...
Awesome news. Turns out the kid who told me they'd cut me a break on just powdercoating the polished lip on 3 new wheels along with fixing 1 damaged one was talking out his ass.
So I can pay $175 to have one wheel refinished, which will look different from the others due to the polish lip needing refinishing. Or I can pay $160 for the other wheels to have all done in black, despite the lip only needing to be touched. $160 per wheel is almost double what I paid for these only this past August. I'm literally better off buying a new similar set. Really. It never f'n ends with this car.
