Ok..I don't know what I've done to tick off the man upstairs, but he has decided to curse me regarding my cars. First, I hit a skunk a couple of weeks back in the Mustang...some of you may remember that thread. Now today I go out to go to work and lo and behold...Stang has dead battery...grrrr. It is the original battery since Nov 06, so I can't complain that the Motorcrap lasted for almost 5 years. I took my Explorer to work and when I came out to go for lunch guess what....dead battery!!!!!! I was thinking "you have got to be freaking kidding me..who the hell did I **** off!!!" Anyway, got it jumped and just finished putting in a new battery in the rain...fun fun.

So I just needed to vent and figured all of you would enjoy a good laugh at my expense. I'll be getting a new battery for the Stang this weekend. Don't know whether to get another Motorcraft for originality or upgrade to an Interstate or Optima...I'll ponder that for a couple of days while I hope nothing else goes wrong with my cars. Also, the wife said I am to stay the hell away from her Explorer less I curse it......

 

Sh*T happens...I like the Interstate battery....usually last 7 or 8 years.

 

Just glad you live across the country!! I dont need to catch what you got!

 

Gotta laugh when sh*t like that happens. My favorite saying, "it's always something."

 

The topic of batteries, and the fact that yours lasted 6 years, reminded me of something. I work part-time at a local Autozone and about 3 weeks ago I changed a battery for a lady with a Nissan Frontier. It was an 01 with 117k miles on it. It was an original Nissan Battery with a Manufactured Date of 06/00. When I pulled it out I said "holy Shyt!" and the lady was like, " whats wrong". I just told her nothing and that she got her money out of that battery. Anywho, batteries are lasting a pretty long time nowadays. Good luck in the future with your vehicles! Now maybe you can get three years of trouble free driving??????

 

They say when it rains it pours! Glad you are getting it straightened out though.

 

^^That's exactly what came to my mind^^ LOL

That's exactly what I say! It seems like it is always something...
