    Whats everyones favorite brand of battery. First thing that I'm grabbing for E30 now that I have a summer paycheck.

    I heard Odyssey was the new good middle-ground now between cheap and stupid expensive.

      Don't go with optima. I've heard both on the internet and from some friends that the quality has gone down hill

        Yellow tops are actually cheaper then the Size 90/91 from Odyssey...

        My wallet, it screams just by the sight of the prices.

                  Always get my oil there, best prices by far. The last battery I bought was from there too, but that was an unusual situation.

                  I generally go for Interstate with batteries.

                      Is anyone going to autocross at Bremerton on the 25th? I've never been and wondering if they have loaner helmets by chance

                        SCCA website says they have loaners, You might be able to convince someone to share theirs if you or they have a sock for your head though.

                          Swear to god. Battery in e30 started pooping out tonight. It was old when when I bought the car 3 years ago.

                            In the Portland area I'd recommend Interstate Batteries in Vancouver. Good prices, good batteries.

                              Oh ok I looked on Bremerton website and didn't see anything. Sent them a message a few days ago and haven't heard back.

                                Do you guys have a Batteries Plus store? We've had really good luck with them, and it's right down the street from us.
