I don't need the nostalgia or specs. I need it in my possession. At least replace the battery so I don't have to deal with that in the 23F temperature here when I get it home.




Haha... I can't. I actually built a shelving unit on the back wall that sits basically above the hood. Since the car is dead, I cannot move it back to open the hood, or even charge the battery (which is not old). So it's basically going to sit there until I can find the time to put it in park, roll it back, take the battery out, charge it, and then finally start it.

I'll do it this weekend... but never selling that car. It's got like 48k miles on it last I remember.

Buy a battery tender. A good one. Plug it into the cigarette lighter. Give it a few days. Charge it back up the same way it died... a little bit at a time, very slowly.
Or drag it around and pull the battery.

Just a thought.

Yeah, I "just" moved about 8 months ago... and still have most of my garage stuff in boxes (where my battery tender is). I do plan to pull the battery, just haven't had a lot of time. I'm going to do it this weekend though.
