[DML] Re: Optima Battery...you want fries with that?



I called Car X Muffler to price a battery. When they asked what car 
it was for I told them a 1981 DeLorean. They asked who made it?  I 
told them DeLorean.  They told me they would have to special order 
the battery and it would cost $500.00.
