Worst afternoon ever

[CIVICRicerBoy]

So I get out of school. My phone is ringing. It's my mom and she's in my car and it won't go into gear and she's sitting in the middle of the road. WTF?! Whatever. I walked to where she was. The clutch was stuck down so I pulled it up and then it worked fine. Ok. So we're good now, right? Oh no. I have to drive down to Publix to get some ice cream. I sat in the parking lot and my mom went in to get it. I turned the car off and was sitting there listening to music. She was in there for about 10-15 minutes. She comes out and I'm going to start my car. Click. Nothing. This is the second time this has happened. I was pissed. I got out of the car, closed my door and the hood and walked off. Autozone was like a mile down the road, so I was going to get a new one. My mom calls me when I'm checking out to say that she'll be there in a minute. They checked the battery. Three of the six water cell things were empty. I bought the new battery and and everything started up fine. Now I'm home.

Most of you probably didn't read this. For those who did- thanks.

/Rant over.

the big one...2 of em...

[" Low "]

and i need it by tonight.....

[CIVICRicerBoy]

I've actually heard bad things about Yellow Tops. I don't remember which one I got. I wanted a Duralast, but they didn't have one in stock. But they did give me a discount on the battery since they didn't have the one I wanted. :D

That doesn't even make sense. Never had a problem, yet you've had 4 of them in one car.....

[" Low "]

Never had a problem, yet you've had 4 of them in one car.....
AT ONE TIME ......3-6kw of amp power and 2 230 amp alternators

you might consider something beefier if you have a big stereo system or something tho.

Anyone tried a "Buddy Club" racing battery, Ive been wanting too but havent heard any reviews.

[CIVICRicerBoy]

I want it too. I would have gotten it to replace the one when it died but ummm Autozone didn't have one and I needed one right then.
