being broke sucks. i was offered a crappy side job of demolioshing out a place for some spare cash. woke up around 0800 got dressed. went to start the car. nothing. battery died.
ahh crap now what? okay i have me one of them Wallyworld crap batteries with a two year no questions asked replacement. so i went to pull it out.
WTF
damn thing was leaking $#!+ everywhere. I had to clean up and repaint this cluster f...
but it only took 3 hours out of a day where i had 1 hours worth of plans. but still being broke sucks. if i had the $$$ i'd get me a good quality opitoma... but until then i'll exploit wal-mart for their crappy batteries. today i got my 3rd battery in 2 years.

the first gen of Optimas would have the post snap, but just break enough where it would still make contact, but allow the gel to leak out

Car Info: This aint a bag. It's a shipment.
I had an optima red top mounted in the rear of my civic hatch. On a drive from the bay to sac I heard high pitched low volume screaming and could see what appeared to be steam forming on the rear window.
The batterey was venting like crazy. Halfway to my destination I ended up pushing the car to a Kragen for a new battery.

If you ask the dentist nicely for a large prescription it may be a good weekend afterall.
And yes, happy Thursday.
