Hi Sunny, great to see you! Recalling there's a battery Co. that you like, what is the ticker again please? - Got some Onsite Consumer Market Info - Car battery sales will probably rocket after this cold snap; AAA guy told me he's never seen so many newer model cars needing a jump (last winter was warm) - so many new cars, so many cheap dealer batteries that don't make it through freezing nights! I've been wrangling with barely starting or jump-starting my 1-year-new Taurus wagon since (what else) day before New Year's Eve. Trying to decide whether it's worth bothering with the dealer, or better to git-go straight to Sears on Monday. I know what some say about Ford, but I just love this car, except for this problem, which the tow truck guy said is just as common with all new car makes except the high-end brands and SUV sports models. Guess I just answered my own question - Sears It Is - no appointment necessary, convenient. There's one around here adjacent to the mall for breakfast. From dealer it's 4 block walk in the freezing cold. Sears/2 Dealer/0 Sunny, and all, again, Have A Great 1999! The Fun is Just Beginning! Joan |
