Smart. I avoided a tow guy's sales pitch when my wife called the truck for her dead battery in her Forester. Her battery was so dead her auto door unlock would not let her in. The tow truck guy charged up the battery and offered to sell a replacement for $175. I passed on the new battery on the theory that a 2 year old battery will recover with a good charge. (Oh, and I found the tailgate dome light that had been left on!) Kept it running for an hour or so and did some errands. It has been firing up better than usual for three days. I wonder how long that light had been on?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
