Question Panasonic car battery...WTF?!?!?!

I got a spiral cell battery thanks to Blue Ledz and took out the factory battery. I think the new one is around 1000 CCAs and is right up with the Optima battery. I wanted to see if there was any mention of CCAs on the factory battery, but nothing to indicate how many. The thing that blew me away was that on each side of the battery says "PANASONIC." Okay, I know they make speakers, boom boxes, car and home audio, alarm clocks, and now car batteries?!?!?!?! WTF?!?! Just found that interesting.

I think they own a huge bank corporation in Tokyo. It is the Donald Trump of Japan, except the only thing Donald Trump has is hookers and buildings. You may run across a woman with a Trump tatoo on her *** and think damn Donald was here before me!!

take a look at www.mitsubishi.com and you'd be surprised that they make anything from cars to heavy industrial equipments to stationaries! (yes, Mitsu pens and erasers)

yes, a wide variety of crap. a friend of mine with a 02 eclipse v6 has had 6 recalls and recently his clutch went out (at 50,000 miles!) and he is an excellent driver. the mechanic finally figured out his pressure plate was never calibrated correctly and was always causing some slip to exist in the clutch discs.

ohh, and the best one was my friends montero (02 i think) that had the throttle cable mount snap so everytime he'd start his car it'd rocket to 7,000 rpm's because it was always at full throttle. no excuse, they used a plastic/nylon screw, washer, nut and mount to hold the accelerator cable and keep it tensioned to the spring.

just look at a list of recent recalls (almost ALL SAFETY!) on alldata for mitsubishi anything. then look into reliability reports for their cars for the last 5 years on any owner review site, or even consumer report. i'll never buy a mitsubishi tv again since the horizontal focus unit went out on my projection prematurly (they usually last forever, even in sonys) after owning it 3 years (RIGHT after the warranty expired). if they can't make a tv, who says they can make a automobile.

they're like sony, products used to be good but now they ride on their reputation for quality japanese products.

My Dell computer's 17" monitor is a flat screen Diamondtron. That too is Mitsubishi isn't it? I like my dad's Apple I mac. The flat screen is so crisp, although you have to be looking straight at it.

Yes that monitor is mitsu... and mac's displays arent crisp JUST because of the monitor.... first of all the video cards have different outputs that are used... they have more connections and the cable for those dam nthings are like 4 gauge size! now of course the monitor helps and I read somwhere on how to hook an apple LCD up to a regular card I want to try it.... something about an apple 21" LCD panel jsut sounds yumy

That is what my dad wants but his is the half of a basketball computer, so monitor is built in unlike the uncanny G5 Processor!! That **** is phat. Not many hackers go after Apple OS, since 90% of the market is IBM. This is way off the subject of a Panasonic car battery!
