I want to thank all of you for your responses but mostly for your support of my soldier! He called from Iraq today and we discussed the battery situation. A friend of ours is coming over to help and we figure the worse that can happen is that we buy a new battery when he returns. Thanks again for the input. I'm confused and overwhelmed but truly appreciate your willingness to help. And yes, not to stereotype, but I am a passenger in the Delorean...I prefer my minivan!
