Default Info & Advice Needed

Many of you know that we bought a new family car this year (Subaru Outback), which I've been driving because I still can't drive a stick yet because of the accident. However, I'm hoping over the next couple of months I'll be driving a manual again. This means I'll be taking my wifes Jetta as the DD. The seats really hurt my back so I need info/ help on which lumbar cushion to get. I found this Lumbar, which I thought might be good. Anyone have some experience?

Second question: I've been storing my S each winter, but since it'll be almost a year in storage I'm wondering on a battery tender. Are there any differences between them? If so what should I be looking for?

Finally, where would you recommend I make my purchases from? Thanks

Disconnect the battery AFTER you have written down the radio presets. Put gas saver into the tank then fill it with a good brand of high test. I also put my car up on jackstands for the winter.
