Now all you need to do is transfer the hood star over as well.

Paul,
It is true. I've had a wholesale account with Interstate for about 25 years. Since I'm semi retired now and Interstate has a warehouse in town, I just go and pick up a battery when I need one. About a year ago I walked in and was awe struck to see a pallet of white batteries with the blue star. I was told that I could look, but I couldn't buy. They were going to the dealer. I'm still not sure that Interstate makes the batteries and particularly since Hatterasguy bought a battery with a made in Spain label. To my knowledge Interatate has always operated from Texas so Possibly they have just contracted to be a distributation system. Regardless, you can't beat the regular Interstate battery.

My original MB battery was still good after 8 years but I figured I was pushing my luck so replaced it with same. Price of $135 at dealer seemed fair enough.
