I drove my car to work for the first time since December 16th today!

It's been down due to unbelievable bad luck all happening at once (resulting in 12 codes). Took forever to trace everything and order, and get things replaced while only working on it after work hours.

Intake manifolds both cracked, Optima Yellow top battery stopped working, manual lock/unlock disconnected inside the door (with dead battery = locksmith), fuel pump went out, driver's maf went out, replacement battery didn't hold a charge (so got a new new one), fob battery died.

-40 is carhart weather. Cool thing with these jackets is that I can use my other thicker fleeces with it since they zip up inside the outer hard shell.

yah those yellow tops are over rated mang. i had one long time ago and while they can deep cycle, if u leave it uncharged for some time they WILL NOT charge any more.

those are great for powering RC car battery chargers though.

only way to hibernate a car properly is to use battery tenders (battery manager). no need for fancy optima batteries.
