Optima Red Top

[CorvallisBMW]

Wal-mart doesn't test battieries when they return them they just return them to the vendor, or throw them out. What I did was, I went to Wal-mart and asked if they had any batteries laying around that they didn't need. The guy directed me to a skid in the shop where they put the returns. He said that people buy batteries if their car isn't working properly and then return them and say they're fucked up or something, when it was actually their alternator or some shit like that. So I went to the skid and there were 3 optima red tops sitting there, I grabbed the 3 and an interstate battery and brought it home. 2 of the red tops worked and the interstate one. I sold one red top for 100$ put the other in my 325 and gave my brother the interstate for his rx-7.

Pretty good deal if you ask me.

Nice. I will have to try this...

I used to work with a guy that went to go work at the automotive section. Is that what its called since I don't think I should really call it a service station when they hire people that doesn't drive or knew why cars need oil. But I will go see if hes around and try to score some batteries.
