No, not time for a new battery. Just time for the owner to pay attention to
maintenance issues on what looked to be a sealed battery. It is the
Interstate MegaMother that they recommend for a Benz diesel. Only two years
old. MTP-93 -- 850 cold cranking amps. Highly recommended.

I hope to avoid this situation in the future. I've hoped to avoid it for

What really kicked me in the nuts was that fact that I tried to jump-start

it was instant light off of myh diesel.

I saw one (a Yugo) about a month/ 6wk ago spewing through a mall parking
lot, it was rust brown (the actual paint color) showing some good

I was surprised, no shocked, well I almost drove off the road, last spring
to see a Yugo parked on a lawn for sale last spring here in central MA.
I remember seeing Yugos on display in the mall

checked the cost - $81/gallon...
