I got home. .got in, it started, but it was very very rough.. I drove about 2 hours worth, get back.. car sits for 15 mins, and now it won't turn over at all.
When I got in the first time, I noticed that the clock and date had reset. I think its an eletrical problem. Any ideas?

It sounds like it's a battery issue. Check connections and if they look good replace the battery. It probably needs replacing soon anyway since it's the original.

Most batteries now require no regular maintenance, but some makes can be topped up as needed with distilled water to extend life and maintain performance.

Check to make sure the water level in the battery hasn't dropped. You can do this on conventional batteries by popping off the plastic cover and checking to see that the water inside reaches the plastic filler necks. Add distilled water if necessary. Maintenance-free batteries, however, generally have an indicator light that goes black when the battery needs service; take these types to a mechanic for service.
