I've just bought my Optimas from Kragen/O'Reilly since every time I need one, I need one right now to get the car started.
Quoted because I've just recycled all three of my red tops. The walmart replacement I picked up two years ago for one of the cars is still going strong, considering it gets started twice a year and never charged, that's not bad. Batteries hate me
