Yikes, $400/month! Ouch. I shop around every year just incase, but Meloche Monex (through Primmum) is always cheapest by 10-15%. I'm 31, have an 06 Frontier 4x4 and 04 G sedan and pay $211/ month. No faults, but a couple tickets.

Not usually into drift vids, but this is almost as good as Gymkana on an obviously lower budget.

went underground garage to perform weekly start-up, turn on the ignition it gives me a clicking sound and the lights are vaguely performing my battery has died on me. i tried 2-3 times, no need to burn the electric system

now need to find a friend on thursday morning to give me a jump start so i can take the car out to new market to Simones for battery and seasonal checks which battery do you think is good for the G?

im hoping the jump start works and gets me to drive from downtown to simones. if anyone is around the neighborhood thursday morning early let me know(yonge and eglinton) i have no idea how to jump start and i have no extra vehicle

Hi Jamal, i think it is coming to die soon cause this happened to me couple of months ago when i was waiting at the airport ( i left the ignition open and charge my ipod+gps+stereo at the same time), second time happening, i think the battery is done after 6 years the boost will probably get me to New Market,

there you go i was looking for an excuse to take my car back from hibernation, my car gives me one ,but not like this though

Get a battery tender or charge it once a month or so. Starting your car weekly to keep the battery up is a terrible idea. The car runs rich when started and will fowl plus over time. As well, you're washing your cylinder walls with the excess fuel and all the condensation that accumulates in your engine is spread around again and again and accumulates ore with the warm/ cold engine temps. Its unnesessary started and elec. system wear. Let her sleep and take it for a long hot drive to burn everything out of it.

yeah you are right.
i was not thinking of the electric system when i was weekly driving the car inside the garage.i am officially taking my car out on thu after the boost, since i am going to new market gives me the mileage the burn everything,i ll try to drive lil bit more that day to let my car back to normal again. i ll let her sleep till thu since i need the boost on thursday anyways

to take the car into hibernation was a learning experience though

weather is averaging 18-20Cnext week and averaging 15 onwards!

Our weather is lookin good too. I'm sure we'll get a dump of snow in April but it won't last more than a day or two. My car came out the first week of march. I couldn't handle the 90 corolla winter beater any more.
