I was until Sunday!! Car has become a weekend driver over the past month, and standed me at Lowes on Sunday...
Had to beg for a jump from a Chevy guy..!
Wierd thing is that it gave me no warning. Started fine before the drive, and then came out and literally was dead!!

Mine went last week, 26k miles.....only 8k miles in the last 3 years. It would have lasted longer but I back it in and out of the shop a ton and never drive it to charge it back up.

Garage queen/weekend car since day 1. 7,2XX miles. Most of those miles were in the first 3 years of ownership. Been on a tender for last ~3 years. Lead plates still look new; no buildup.

Not 100% certain if mine is the original since I'm the 3rd owner, but it looks like it. It's the OEM battery, and it looks rather old.
