If that's the only down side to living in Cali I think I could deal with that

Exactly! 52 is a heat wave in November You remember the Boston storm at the cookie party Patty, that is par for the course most places in the north east multiple times every winter

Raining here or I would be taking the S out today. Looks like more of a "fit lots of stuff in the Civic day" though Shopping for Tom while he's working, grocery shopping, picking up my winter tires... not to mention all the house crap that is never done, doh!

Hoping Sunday is sunny and 50 like they promised, maybe our new GPW owner will want to meet up

8 years and still going although I will be replacing next year as a couple of times, it barely turned the engine over last year. After driving for a couple of hours though, the alternator put enough charge in it hold for a few weeks...

I only got about 4 seasons out of mine. Mostly because I couldn't pull the battery over
the winter because the guy I stored the car with needed to occasionally move it
around within his garage that he was still finishing on the inside.

Replaced it with a Duralast Gold.

My OEM lasted 7 yrs and was never taken out of the car, nor did I put a battery tender on it in the winter.
Last spring replaced it with a duralast gold top.
