I'm impressed and surprised every Spring, because the battery is almost 7 years old and the winter temperatures around here spend plenty of time in the single digits. Every April I go out and put the key in the ignition, thinking to myself "this is probably going to be the year I'll need a new battery", then I turn the key and it starts cranking. This is also in a car that has a high compression big-block Chevy under the hood, so it's not something easy to get running to start with.

I probably just jinxed myself now
