wal mart
ok so i officially hate wal mart.
or at least their merchendise.
so today i went to save mart to buy spaghetti. i walk out to my car, get in, and....
"click click" and then my guages went ape crazy. i was like, "wtf?"
so i tried again. same thing.
tried a third time, and then my LCD screens displaying my mileage and time of day were off, so i knew there was a problem.
i popped the hood... to check the battery connection and it was solid. i couldnt imagine that it was the battery because i just bought it. i tested it with my dads meter and there wasnt any current across the battery. so i was pulling a huge "wtf" right about then. long story short, a cell in my battery took a s#$t or w/e so my battery was bad. so we pushed my car over to the convenienty close auto zone to test the battery, when we realized that we bought the battery at wal mart, not auto zone. and this was after we pushed it over there. so i was pretty upset...so we took the battery out and then took it over to wal mart (my dad had showed up by this point in his truck) to get it replaced, because it was 2 months old.
long story short, the battery works when theres little current going across it but it doesnt when theres a large load on it so it worked for their little test thing or whatever so they didnt replace the battery even though we told them what was going on like, 3 times and we even offered to show them by putting it on something but it didnt work.
so, ive bought two batteries in 2 months. lol. it sucks. so their warrenties dont work. or whatever. so i dont like wal mart.
my dad was also mad so were not going to wal mart any time soon...
jiffy lube for oil changes!

WarrenG: Yeah.. Autoparts, sound systems, ect. SUCK from wal-mart usually, stick to the good well-known places like Autozone, Advanced Autoparts, ect :P. Wal-mart is only good for grocery shopping, personally speaking.. Hell, all their electronic stuff i can purchase off the internet for cheaper.
