Alright, So the battery terminals on my car are shot. They are loose.
For me to turn my car on, I have to pop the hood turn them then turn the key.
While driving the lights will dim for a split second and stuff.
Autozone and every other auto store in the area is closed.
I am leaving for New England in three hours. How do I do a quick fix so My car will function correctly?

if it's just because they are loose and you need a very temp fix you could try to clean the terminals off as best as you can then throw hose clamps or very small C clamps on them to hold them tight.. I wouldn't recommend using that for long and I would also check it very often and have spares laying around, if one falls off it's likely LONG gone.. Ideally a clamp that doesn't conduct electricity would be best and if you do use something metal use something that in no way would be able to hit both terminals if it were freely wandering.. If there is room something like bolting two pieces of wood to each other squeezing the terminal may work as well..

Well, I gotta drive it to Harlem, Me and my buddy are gunna clean the terminals there. Right now I put a small nail inbetween the terminal and battery. So far it's worked.

I hate to say it , but yes a screw is a quick fix.
terminals are cheap , so make sure its only a TEMP fix.

Dude i feel for you. When i was stuck on LI there was nothing open at night. Maybe a Pathmark will have terminals. I fuckin hated the night life on LI. It was Applebees or bed.
