wake up one fine spring morning, uncover car, open garage door, and drive off.
Car no start??? take work beater to buy new battery. (2011 stock battery going strong)
I love my car as much as the next guy, but it is a car.....
Wasting money on a battery because the old one froze and exploded isn't how I want my first spring day to go, as it did this year in my other car. Where I live in MN, it dipped below -30 multiple times, enough to freeze any non- maintained battery.

Plenty of good tips in here to try this winter. Battery tender is cheaper than a battery so I'll start with that.
