You got a Gell Cell in your stook? My Panasonic is a maintenance free lead acid battery containing sulfuric acid. When did they start putting Gel Cells in stooks?

well, went to the dealer and they dropped in a new Panosonic battery ... hopefully it'll still be starting in the morning. If it doesn't well ... it means something is wrong with my stook and not the battery. This time I'll be prepared though, I got one of them mobile jumper things so I'll be able to jump myself if needed.

Hey guys! THE CAR STARTED THIS MORNING WITH THE NEW BATTERY!!! I cannot fully express the joy I feel now ... an S2K without juice is like losing your sense of sight or hearing ... but now, order has been restored. I think I'll go take my baby into VTEC country a few times today just for old times sake ...
