I got my "prize pack" from Instructables today; a t-shirt, 3 stickers, 2 sew-on patches, and a tiny plastic robot!
Still not sure when the GRAND PRIZE will show up. I expect that may be coming directly from Sears corporate.
I did stop at the Sears store today, just to get ideas.
There was a stainless steel toolbox there that was very shiny, and may have my name on it.
There's also a Sears Auto Center in a separate building out in the parking lot of the mall. I wonder if they have aluminum rims for a Geo Metro?
Seriously though, the Die Hard Platinum sounds like a pretty nice AGM battery. One issue that I have had with the original batteries I have in the Electro-Metro is that they are A LITTLE TOO LONG. In other Metro conversions, people fit 4 batteries longitudinally in the radiator area. Mine don't fit! I can only fit two there (and the other one only goes in and out by removing the head light!)
If I got 4 Die Hard Platinums, I could replace the one front battery with those four, increasing my system voltage from 72 to 108 volts. I would then charge those on a 48V charger and keep my original charger (which is still on the fritz right now....) for the back batteries.
