a former employee stopped by work to visit, and happened to mention he had a lawnmower battery (U1L or similar) under the hood of his Neon. he always was a goofball with his Neons; zip-tying the springs to lower it for example.
another coworker got to hear him start it and said it sounded like an old car/tractor. this cold snap in MN made me wonder if he ever got a real battery under his hood?

i just thought it was hilarious that a car was running on a small battery and that some of you with little Bs of any color might wanna try it to sound authentic at the shows :)
