    Exide makes a good battery too. Hard to beat this deal for 800 CCA or more at Wally World:

    From Consumer Reports:

    I think the Wally World are made by Johnson Controls. Tough to beat a top-line battery w/ 5 yr warranty for about $93 these days.

    My only concern was that is was chosen by Nascar-not a glowing endorsement as those only need to work several times and go 300-500 miles :rofl: :lol:

    Nap time and I might just get one today with the house empty. The boss has gone to a family gathering and has left me to fend for myself since I'm no good in the afternoon usually (I like to take a nap).

    Agreed. BJ's had my battery for under 100 bucks. Not bad and the new battery was higher CCA and cranks the engine much faster than the one it replaced-even when that one good. I noticed that immediately :thumbs:

    Stove received a serious cleaning. Soot eater for the exhaust run, oiled the fan that gets it. Exhaust clean out had a good scrubbing.
    Exhaust fan was very clean with no cruddy buildup.

    New gaskets for the various clean outs.

    I rarely have to replace batteries. I think the last one I replaced was on a 4-runner. I had that sucker 13 years and put 1 battery in it; the original lasted 7 years. The rest of my vehicles I've had for 4-5 years and never had an issue. But, never say "never" - so I'll pay attention!

    Now, you should understand why geezers have early meals.

    Well :p right back at 'ya - you should've took the brownie pan. :D

    Today was an excellent day - the finance stars aligned, and Natalie (and co-signer Betsy) are the proud owners of a 2014 Subaru Legacy.

    Salesman (John G) and the F&I Manager went above-and-beyond, negotiated w/ the lender for full bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage to be bundled into the loan, and dropped the loan interest rate down to Tier 1 credit, @ 3.5% . Wow, I wasn't expecting that. Kept the payment at $250/mo, and saved about 3 grand on interest payments.. The folks @ Brattleboro Subaru really came through for us today. :yes:

    My day went from wondering when it was going to be warm enough to pull the battery from the "Red Herring", to not having to worry at all about Natalie having a safe, reliable vehicle w/ road-side assistance included - and aside from normal maintenance items, w/ warranty coverage on -everything- under the hood, and inside the cabin. :thumbs:

    It "may" be time for a Beer. :coldone:

    Nope, that's free - and a courtesy of Logan airport / MassPort - there should be no charge for the service. :yes:
