If this is the worst thing that happened in your life this week you're fortunate. Lots of other, more life altering things could have happened. Batteries and lids can be bought any time.

Damn that sucks. I'm glad my car didnt have the De-crapo when I got it. I'm also very grateful it did not blow up. I worked at an autozone about a year ago and this guy brought in a battery that blew a through the top of it.

Hell dude I just gave away a battery, but I'm 100 miles away so it really doesn't matter.
