Hmm, I wish I had done that.  I just ordered a new battery from PBC last week
and it is supposed to arrive today or tomorrow.  My OEM battery is still going
after 4 years and 9 months but it feels like it has been getting weaker when I
start it.  Plus, the radio does not want to turn on when I haven't ran the car
for a day so I figured it was time to get a new one before it dies completely.

Also, I ordered the Hella air horns while I was at it to see if I can make my
baby sound a little better.

Of course I don't speak for my company.  If I did that
they'd have to pay me a lot more money.
