Default It won't start after my little incident last night...

Well, last night I didn't see a bumper and I hit it--it sheered off my inner fender lining and bumped my fender out of alignment.

I went to start it that night about an hour later and I noticed my battery was very low--but it still started.

And now it's completely dead. I dunno what it would be. Or if my battery and my incident are two different things happening at the same time to make me mad. It's the passenger front wheel well if this helps

Maybe you somehow loosened the engine ground? Check where it is grounded to the car and the engine?
Also check your battery connections.
It could be a coincidence.

Yes, generally speaking if you're car is not properly grounded your battery will drain, so check that.

Take a look around under the hood there Goob. Could be a few things from a cracked battery to a broken cable. The battery sits on that side so something may have happened there. Maybe the battery has shifted causing a short, maybe you pinched a wire or peeled the skin off a wire and its touching bare metal in that area.
