HELP NOW! car quit and i have to get home!!
Well, these cars aren't that heavy, you could always push it out of the garage. I would definitely try to jump start it. The alternator may not have been putting out enough to keep the battery charged at idle, and being that it was idling for so long, it could have discharged your battery. I know your battery is new, and chances are that it isn't bad, but it may be discharged. I would definitely try to jump start the car, if nothing else just to rule out one more thing, and who knows, it might (a good chance) start right up for you. Either that or put your charger on it.
Ok, im gonna put it on the charger, but not to sound like a smart *** at all, and im sorry if i do, but have you ever tried to push a 3300lb car out of a garage slightly uphill by yourself? try that and tell me its not heavy
Im hoping this will work, and i thank you guys for all your help

LoL. Sorry, I didn't realize it was on a hill. I'm used to pushing 5500 lb. pickups when crap goes wrong. So I guess 3300 lbs seems like a much lesser evil, but still no fun when it's on a hill. Well, I hope that gets it running again, if not, it was worth eliminating something else from the picture, so that everyone else on here doesn't say, did you check the battery? LoL
Well, good luck. Keep us posted.

Something similar happened to me. If the car turn over but doesn't start, check the coil and the wire to the opti-spark. That's all it was for me. Cheap parts to fix too

I'm sure it wasn't the charge from the alternator that killed it, it was the heat under the hood.
