Now I'm with Manny on this one - you definately need a new man. This guy can not think straight. A Toy instead of a Benz? Because a battery went bad? Tell him this sweety - batteries go bad on Toys too. And you know what, go to a Toy stealership - thay actually have a parts department that keeps their clerks busy. Why do I say this? Becuase SOMEBODY is buying all those parts. The quality hype is prevalent, but Toyotas break down too.

Toys are good, but they breakdown. And frankly, I'd rather drive a Benz that breaks down every once in a while than to drive around in a tinny-sounding, back jarring, quirky accelerating, wind noisey, Japanese-feel and smell Toyota anyday!

And to cover for when your Benz breaks, have a second one handy at all times. I do!

Did hubby disconnect the OVP and check for current draw from the battery? Maybe something else is wrong?
