Battery saga

Alex asked me post the saga of the battery replacement. I got the Saturn to the Advance Auto part place on Saturday, having hooked it up all day to the charger. The guy said they would look at it and sent out two guys to take it out. I told them the guy who put it in ended up with bloody knuckles. They laughed and said that it couldn't be too hard. After awhile they gave up and went inside to wait on other customers. I got a screw driver from their tool cart and popped it out with one motion and was working on the bolt with the socket set when they came back out. One of the guys was the part manager for the Saturn dealership who moonlights at Advance Auto Parts. Of course once they got it out, they couldn't take my word that it was bad, had been bad for over a month or the fact that it was sitting in a puddle of dried corrosion, but put it on their "computer" testing device for the official word. But the aggravation was free because the battery was still on warranty. Yay!
