What are some places I can find them at?
Where do you live - town/state/country? In the city or country?
You drive around with your dad. Otherwise, all you done is ask questions since joining three weeks ago. Tell us a little about yourself.
The obvious place is in USED CARS of course. Couldn't resist.Quote:

It would help if you go to the introduce myself section and post an intro.
Try typing the title of your thread into the search bar. With all due respect, we cant spoon feed you everything. Just search dude
Thank you Jord, an Mick for saying it nicer then me. An Pnut got to the pun before I did. ;)
Maybe take some time an dig into the forums, vs posting new threads asking for info already available here. It really doesn't take long. Oh an while it matters not..surely after all these answers you could give thanks to the folks who reply to you. I don't get why you wouldn't offer thanks to someone who is providing you info(not to the OP, general you, for this sentence at lest). I see folks who've been members here for a couple years now, with no thanks given, an just don't get it. Surely in 3 years, 3 months, or 2 weeks, someone has offered you some info, advice, etc you didn't know before hand. Then again, maybe the non-thankers are allergic to the thanks button.

Theres no thanks option on the android app :( !!! Thats why mines so low. Im rarely on the full site but when I am I do thank people. Maybe thats one thing that can be updated at some point.Quote:

Like I said..not a big deal. I'm just ranting, over tiny things. :p
If that's all I can complain about life is good.
Sirscrapalot - Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. - Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride.
Didnt know that. Well that's my excuse and im stickin with it.
As for this thread, I'll help ONE more time. Next post you're on your own my friend.
1. Make a CL ad saying you'll take em free.
2. Go to repair shops and see if you can remove the batteries for them
3. Offer to buy them for a few bucks and sell to the yard.
4. Towing companies often change out batteries for cold morning victims. Contact them amd inquire.
5. ^^^ I thought of those off the top of my head in about 30 seconds. By the way, im 23. Young like you. I Havent been at this that long at all. This is where reading and searching has helped me. Its a great feeling to be one of the guys answering questions rather than asking them. Edit: not saying I dont ask question! We all do. We just search first
And I'll play the part of the broken record, Please use the search bar, I promise it wont bite! Although I cant say the same for siracrap... watch him.
I play nice..most of the time. Touch my cooler without permission an it's on like Donkey Kong..or whatever kids today play.
o:)
Sirscrapalot - Secretly admired by Jord an the rest of the Canucks.
Old thread, I know. Just figured I'd throw a thanks for the laugh I got from your quote scrapalot. ;) There was a time where I'd say that randomly throughout a day. HahaQuote:

That's where I get my batteries. They're not car batteries but they are between 1lb and 60lbs each. It adds up quick.
You will find the used batteries in the last place you look so hmmm, where have you been finding them?
I'm so nice..anyway
Hmmm.... Why the subterfuge?Quote:
