I knew this would happen, but the battery keeps needing charged all the time. This of course started after leaving the car in the freezer of a garage. What should I do about this? Its going to have to stay cold all the time if it's sitting.

Disconnect the battery when you're not driving it.

Buffalo wings sound pretty good right now.. But why are they called buffalo wings, ever thought of that? Buffalo don't have wings, and if they did they would be a lot bigger. Not to mention they'd taste like buffalo, not chicken.

I know, and it isn't because of their sauce or anything.... truly strange.

Actually they're named for where they originated, Buffalo, NY

Gotta love Wikipedia!

I like how the topic goes from Batteries to Buffalo Wings.

Derrick, next time you're in town (assuming you can arrive before my bedtime) we should roll over to Fire on the Mountain. . .the valley's finest flappers.
