    Re: What have you done to your car lately?

    Bought new battery
    $124 later, starts perfect
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    Did the same, only cause i broke down cause i was too lazy to replace it and kept roll starting it!

    Lucky i was exiting a shopping centre carpark so a bystander helped me push it and walked back in, got an Exide for $174, bit exxy but supports the cancer council so not too fussed.

    Although now it has a pink battery...
