Holy Cripes -24 when I woke up, didn't plug my van in last night, battery is 7 yrs old. It started like nothing, never had a battery last this long.I don't think I should take chances, maybe I'll get a new one. Have a good day guys.

I heard someone say that the average lifespan of a car battery is about 1 1/2 years. Mine always seem to last much longer than that, but I know some people that have had issues with very young batteries...

I was thinking it`s about time they fired up for this season. Thanks for the heads up but all I`ve got is farmer vision.

I can keep tabs on it via the internet.
We`re in for some real winter weather now by Tuesday with -33°C and it`ll feel like -46°C. If you don`t hear from me for a while you`ll know my computer froze up!

when I hear the word "nascar", all I think of is Jeff Dunham's "bubba J"... "They're making a left turn!!!!"...

Don't like it much myself. If I have to watch something on tv, its going to be world cup soccer or rally car racing.
