Well, only to edify yourself; I bought the booger already and the car is now running fine!

I think you get that feeling for anything that you have put alot of time and money into. Man, you must have some sort or rare car, battery under the back seat, dealer is the only one who can replace the battery. Good thing it wasn't your flux capacitor.

In that case ya run the wires to the trunk and bolt a custom case to the bottom then buy a diehard made for that size enginge (in terms of cranking amps-or one size larger) and forget about it for 6 years. Classic car owners do this all the time cuz they don't want the battery rotting out the fender. Or they buy dry cell batterys which are more expensive. Hell the factory ford battery in my ranger went 7.

Well, from what I know, nowadays, the negative (black) terminal in such cars is the chassis. This way, electron flow is toward the metal of the frame, body, etc. This causes reduction which goes against rusting which is oxidation.

My brother is an IT for Sprint. His comment is go with Seagate. He says that Maxtor and Western Digital are just not as good. On the other hand I have 2 WD's set on RAID0 on my machine. That is interleaved so as the system sees them as 1 big drive. (2 x 360 gig) I had to partition them to three 100 gig drives.

A while back I was copying something to the 3rd partition (G drive) and the machine rebooted. Turned out one of the drives has a defect and it would make the machine reboot. The defect was at about 62% of the way into the G partition so I resized and reformatted it. I also did some major backups at that time. DVD's are a wonderful thing. Let me tell you it was panic attack for a while. I had some photos of my late wife and they were only on the machine.
