Afternoon guys. I'm home from dirll and just relaxing and watching the race. Looks like I'm gonna lose some more points in the MCF fantasy standings. Oh well. Short tracks are not good to me though.

I'm kinda pissed right now, yesterday I had my car on a battery charger for 12+ hours and it has zero charge..... Unless I was doing something wrong I'm pretty bummed out. Followed directions () and got nothing. The battery is about 4 years old since I bought the car, but it can't be totally dead????? Not sure though, I can't even take the car to a shop and get a new battery installed, I guess I have to figure something out. I've also heard it is a total pita to change batteries in an 06.... I'm done ranting on......

4 years is normal for a battery to take a dump.

Had my little mini car show/meet with ny monte carlo club. A sweet morgan showed up

Yep, pretty much, especially if it's an SS with the LS4 crammed in there.

Original batteries in both of my Montes have lasted 6 years. Maybe I'm just fortunate mine have lasted longer, I don't know.
