Bought a new battery at AutoZone yesterday. $104 plus tax. A battery from any stealership in town was $210!!! Plus, I hear the Pcar batteries aren't that good.

The big kicker was the fact that the batteries had the same specs and the Porsche battery was five pounds heavier than the replacement brand. Sheesh!

I wanted a Costco battery but they didn't have them in stock, couldn't/wouldn't order one for me, and had no friggin' idea when they would get some in stock. I hate that.

Sure was nice to get in and fire it right up on the first turn of the crank. Nothing beats a brand new battery or brand new tires.

BTW, I refuse to buy anything from the stealership parts counter in Houston. I work too hard for my money to give them 250% of retail on most items. Yes, it's really that bad.
