Or buy a VW for the kid.

 

The kid is done driving the P!G and will be driving his manual E46 coupe exclusively. 😁. Claims it stops better…sheesh!

 

Installed a 95R battery from NAPA.

 

Great choice. Same one I have in mine since getting it in 2016.

 

Saw the price on yours, I had to look up when I replaced mine, I did a Duralast AGM H8 in 2020 and I am shocked at how high prices have gone since then lol.

 

Jan 2022
$210

 

189 in 2020

 

You can still get an H8 for $200 give or take.

Yeah, reading one of the battery threads I saw you mentioned NAPA so decided to check them out since they're like 5 mins away. Well that was pre Covid and that store is no longer so I had to go the next city over, about an 8 mile drive. I didn't plan on getting this one initially as the website advertised an H9 for $239. However when I got there, the manager took one look at my old battery and said I should get the 95R. He's a car guy, owns an M5, E55, and other Euro car and has his own shop; he said go big or go home...lol. So that's what I ended up doing. Actually NAPA has 3 battery/price point choices; an H8 and the two H9s on their website..

 

May have mentioned this before, but the refurb Interstate batteries have been working well for 8-10 years of regular use. At less than $70 for an H8 and a 90 day warranty, it has been a great alternative to buying a shiny new battery.

 

Interesting find
Batteries only make it to 4 years here regardless of who what where

 

The battery in my Turbo S was OEM Porsche lol. Hopefully at least 1 battery change or else, that was a factory battery in 11 years

 

Got it dirty.



Volcan Planchon and Laguna Teno in the Maule Region of Chile.

 

Replaced it with an X5 .
Registration and Smog was coming due in a couple of weeks and I decided to cut my losses and not put any more money in it.
