Just took a few pics of the old girl before putting her away for the winter. It's the hardest thing I've done in a while, as the new engine is really sstarting to loosen up and run right.

That's a nice old girl. How do you like that Optima?
Can't even tell it's an older vehicle until you see the rust on the valve cover.
Nice pics
Nice pics
1. What's an Altima ???
2. There's a nice new valve cover at the powdercoater right this minute being done in a nice Ford blue.

Nice, don't see too many of these around much. The paint looks great.
I think he was referring to the "Optima" battery.

I wanted to know how you liked that Optima Red Top battery. I'm thinking of putting one in my Audi.

I guess someone who doesn't even know he has an Optima can't be expected to know if he likes that battery. 
Oh boy!...my neighbor in Florida had a couple of these...I used to laugh them off until one day I saw him haul a ton of stuff and he pulled a trailer!...little diesel that could!...I kinda want one...hold on to this gal...Well I know you will...I can tell by how you talk and treat her that you love the little beast...my neighbor said he was getting 40+ mpg...by the way she is gorgeous!...thanks for sharing the pics...
Very Nice!
I wish the nice lady had been a little less distracted the day she pulled out in front of my 1985 Golf Diesel. I would buy a new one of those today and all the shaky, smelly, gutless whiners be ****ed!

Please post pics of the new valve cover (installed) when you get it back. This car/truck-hybrid appears to be in great shape!
What's the deal with Optima batteries? Are they good? Where do you get them?
They are great. The local Costco sells them in this area. I have seen them in some NAPA stores, and a lot of speed shops sell them.
They are a "dry cell" type battery. They work in any position, and no real worries in case of accident. No nasty acid to slosh out. Lots of power to crank a cold motor.
