Title: OUCH !!!
Post by: Bruce on April 06, 2009, 10:30:40 PM
Quote from the latest hotVW's magazine: 

"In the case of a car like Lanny Hussey's 1967 Looker, since these cars tend to sit more than they are driven, the battery often loses it's charge.

Thats not a nice comment to say.
Lanny has spent countless hours in workmanship into building his car.
Someone is jealous of him and the car.
Not cool

If you actually read the magazine column, the topic is about battery cut off switches, nothing to do with driving or not driving your car. It just so happens my car has a battery cut off switch that I put on most of my builds.
