So hey guys, I’m going to be driving the Spec 5 this winter and the stock battery just isn’t going to cut it. I want to buy an Optima Red or Yellow top, size 34/78, but I have no idea who carries them!? Whoever is first to suggest it at the place I end up buying one gets a free Tim Hortons coffee… 😉 ---

As an update: Costco - Tried two stores in Edmonton and one in Calgary. They don’t carry them any more. Walmart - Tried the one in West Edmonton, a Red Top is $204 + tax. Ouch. Parts Source - Tried one in Calgary, the guy had never even heard of Optima. Double Ouch. 😃 I guess I’ll just have to order it from the intarweb! ---

Weird… I paid a $140 for mine at walmart about 2 months ago… I was going to buy one for the Spec, but if it’s that pricy maybe I’ll wait… Kris if you find a decent deal let me know… I’ll buy one with you ---

The **Interstate Battery** outlet over on the west end sells Optima batteries. (IIRC, Interstate is the distributor for the Optima line). They’re up on 156st and about 112ave I think. Jason ---
