    We don’t have an Advanced Auto around here.
    I went to Walmart Autozone and O Reilly’s.
    I’ll go up to NAPA on Saturday and get one.

    Did you price all the stores? Reason I ask is Napa is pretty rapey with pricing most of the time. The only reason I ever used them wad because they are the best spot for medium duty parts.

    right......my daughter needed one last year and said it was $150.
    I thought BS.....
    then I looked them up on line, sure enough $150 was actually a reasonable price............
    I remember when they were $50.......

    Battery for my Porsche was $338 my cost lol. Batteries and oil are the two most over priced things out there.

    Buy a pallet, strap it to the nose of the trailer and sell them in the parking lot at the giant toilet that sells fuel.
