    uh-huh ... and the article mentioned both of them in the same breathe as if they are both pretty comparable to each other.

    What differences did you note between them?

    I'm not in too much of a rush, I can wait. With my maverick not being my daily driver (yet) its easy having the battery go dead and I found that standard batteries just don't recover so fast after full drain. Optima shuld do the trick.

    If you had a yellow car you would have bought a yellow top. You bought a red top because your car is....................well never mind. PFN.
