Default Need Help! 370z will not start / car is possessed

Yesterday I had my 2 month old 370z's windshield replaced due to a rock that cracked it. When I got home after the job was done, I noticed there was a smell from the glue that was used, so I decided to put the windows down in the garage. (also seem to remember locking the car with the remote, even though windows were down)

Later that night, 5-6 hours later... I went to the garage just to check on car. (I may or may not have hit the unlock button on the remote) What I saw freaked me out. The car was going crazy. The driver's side headlight was strobing, other lights were flickering... the car was making odd sounds like it was trying to do something. The rear tail lights were also blinking. The headlight strobe would start and stop on its own, at different speeds. The interior dash lights were blinking in succession. I had no idea what was going on. Hitting the Start button, stepping on brakes, etc. wasn't seeming to help. I could not start the car either. I finally got the car to stop going crazy and thought I would try to start it again. It tries to start but makes a really loud and fast clicking sound. The interior lights come on and the Nav boots up, but then it stops, unable to turn over.

Any ideas? I'm at a loss? I suspect dead battery, but I was able to move the windows and as I said, the Nav and interior lights are coming on. It just won't turn over.

I would really appreciate any advice/suggestions you can give. I'm debating trying to jump it. (jump a 2 month old car, nice) I have no way to get to work tomorrow.
