I foolishly took my old battery out and put my new battery in without providing an offering to the Mobil 1 or Ball Bearing gods and everything was fine. I didn't even have to reset my windows or radio, granted the radio hasn't been on since 2016 when I bought the thing. Which reminds me - I really should turn that space into an extra tray...

That may be, but I'm pretty sure that's not what DT's "race" car looks like under the rust and faded paint :P
