Battery acid all over the tray, and zero juice. We got it started - and no one was happier to see me than Holbert's who cleaned up area and of course sold me a new OEM battery for around $220. Ouch!

And because my mileage was so low, the CPO didn't cover it.

And that's how I know.

What Phil said above is correct. However, what he didn't tell you is that in order to make the connection, they had to shove the the vent tube up his ***!

Phil, is there such a malady as a sulfated rectum?
