Default Just had to replace the original battery

I don't really complain. The car was still on the original factory battery (according to the date code). The car had been warning me that the battery was low, probably because I drive <3k miles a year. On Saturday I went to start the car and got the light show and clicking from the starter relay. I jumped it from the wife's car and got a Duralast Gold less than 20 minutes later. I guess 8 1/2 years is not too bad....

8.5 years would be close to a record!

Does that mean you have an '09 with about 25K miles on it?

Well, no, as I did not buy the car from new, I am the second owner. Purchased it 3 years ago with 60k miles.
