Saturday: Partly cloudy with a STRAY thunderstorm. Highs in the mid 70s and lows in the low 60s.

That is from the Weather Channel's web sight and dont you know that its gonna change about 8 times between now and then.....

I've had my optima yellow top for 5 years. My camaro is the third car i've had it in. Only problem Ive had is I had to jump start it a month ago after my car had sat all winter.

I went through three Optima yellow tops in my Grand Prix. Bought one, got a new one under warranty (like 2 months in) and it failed too. Took it in for warranty and they refused to give me a new one. Bought a second yellow top, and it lasted about 9 months and took a ****.

Went and bought a red Duralast, and it was still in the car when I sold it 3 years later. I'm all for the possibility of a wiring issue, but then why did my 50 dollar Autozone battery outlive my 150 dollar Optima by 4-5x or more.

Optimas may last fine for some, but they aren't consistent at anything except their idiotic prices.

Just saying what everyone is thinking. You guys can take pot shots at us all day but as soon as I say one thing, someone gets hurt? Hi pot, I'm kettle.

Also, none of my techs were ever missing that socket.

We have been working 12+ hr days for the last month and a half. It seems that all of our suppliers are behind, too. Hopefully c&p can start getting work done faster All I want to do after work is chill. I cant believe how fast we are growing... Hopefully it continues after the spring rush.

As for the truck- I think I would be embarrased to bring a cam/nitrous lsx to the fort. I might have to change up the plan before I bring her over...
