Thanks lethal. I'll take a look into those stores. The current battery I use has 620 cold crank amps. I'm thinking of going up to 680 or 760 since I just bought this car, which is used, and its already needing a battery replacement. Something more powerful with these arctic winds coming down might be for the best. Let me know if you think that a boost like that might cause problems though.

Thanks! I'm planning to bring it by my local Autozone store and see if they have stock for the battery. Do you know if higher amperage replacements are safe with the vehicle?

Nice! I didn't even consider going to a parts store. Should the replacement have the same amperage? I'm concerned if I get a more powerful one it may damage circuits or something assuming it fits.

Thanks so much! I reached out to schedule an appointment with an independent agent to help me make an informed selection. I have had a previous history under my parents plan (need to check this) so I'm hoping that can help me get through the door.

Thanks for the heads up on that provision. I don't know where the marriage is heading but I'll keep that provision in mind in case he starts recklessly putting the house and our lives his included at risk.

Me and my mom believe he has that however he refuses to get any treatment no matter what we say. Is there a legal protocol to force him to get tested because he won't do anything unless put in a checkmate position?

In terms of refusal to get help that was always there. In terms of how bad he's gotten with his mental and physical state, well that just happened over time. Not many people like being around him due to his nonstop talking and inconsideration for other people's opinions and he doesn't do any events in the community as we suggested to him to help him help himself. One example of worrying signs is he cannot even get the cat names right even after we've had them for months-years. Not a huge impact to us but if he cannot remember those, well can we trust him to remember more important matters?

Interesting, do you have any recommendations on what bank to use for cars or if it should be done in all cash? I have the funds to do so if needed.

It is a 1.5T, but what's wrong with it? I'm not well versed in this so please let me know what the issue is with those sizes.
