LOL, big Seinfeld fan here. Still watching re-runs every night, even though I know all the lines by heart.

It didn't seem like it at the time, but watching him today we realize how politically incorrect he was, and how far downhill we've slid in 20-25 years.

Political correctness has destroyed comedy, free speech, society as a whole.....

Yup!

In recent years, Seinfeld and Chris Rock have both said they will not speak at college campuses (campii?) anymore, because they wouldn't be allowed to crack jokes about ANYTHING.

Well, I suppose they could make plenty of jokes about white heterosexual men -- the most despicable group of humans to ever have walked the face of the earth -- but they didn't comment on that.

The key to long battery life (in modern cars) is to keep it on a maintainer when parked.
I have had good luck over the years following this statement

I avoid Walmart like the plague. The words Walmart & Corvette don't belong in the same sentence together.
I think the key to a long battery life is using a maintainer when the car is not in use

Looks like we kinda drifted off subject a little ... but I had a Wal Mart battery in my truck, and it lasted just over 3 years ... and it was a 3 year warranty. Can't really complain, although batteries tend to last a bit beyond the warranty period, at least in my experience. I bought another just like it, and in the 3 years since I'd bought the first one, the price had gone up about 50%.

The Walmart battery on my Toyota pickup died last week.
IT WAS NINE YEARS OLD.
