Well it started yesterday. I got up in morning to take some movies back to Blockbuster. The car started a little sluggishly, but I just assumed that it was because of the weather was shitty. So I get to Blockbuster, leave the car running and drop the movies, then head over to get some food across the street from my apartment. By the time I get back outside, its a downpour. There's some chicks who work at the salon that are outside smoking. They comment on my car. I smile and nod trying to be cool. I get in, turn the key...

CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK...

DEAD BATTERY!

So I get back out of my car, embarrassed, and ask for a cigarette. I call my buddy for a Jump Start. I have an 03 Z with the OEM Battery still. He comes over with some jumper cables. They are too short. So I push my car out of the parking stall into the middle of the parking lot so he can get close enough to jump it. Keep in mind its pouring rain. I get home, and back into my parking spot just so I can jump it again if needed.

This morning I get out to my car, and the battery is dead again. Guess it was time to get a new battery. So I bought one at Wal-Mart and replaced it. What a freaking weekend! But I guess I would have had to do it sooner or later.

The worst part about it, was looking like a douch bag in front of the hot chicks from the salon. They were pretty hot.

Usually batteries don't just all of a sudden act sluggish. They usually tend to creep up slowly. Either that or your battery hates you.

Hope that it is all fixed and keep us updated. I have a battery that keeps dying and I replaced mine still working on finding my problem. Might have been a loose terminal.

Yea, I replaced the battery with a Wal-Mart Everstart Maxx. It works fine. The battery is quite a bit smaller then the OEM. But it works. So that's all I care about. Here's a question...After I replaced the batter, my car seems to run a little better. I have done a few mods, and I never bothered to reflash the ECU. But I know when you disconnect the Neg for a few minutes, it'll restart the ECU. Is it possible when it 'Re Learned' my car, it adjusted some things to incorporate my Mods and added some performance?
