I was planning on changing it myself, the plastic cowls that have to be removed might be annoying but it looked simple enough.

Was going to head over to Autozone or O'Reilly near me.

I'm happy I live in an area where I don't have to garage the car, I love driving it so much. Any recommendation on a charger I can pick up at Autozone/O'Reilly when I get a new battery?
