Message	I've got a Die Hard in my car that was there when I bought it. Through many projects I've managed to kill it(stupid floor lights), yet jumping it off is all it takes, and I'm back on the road. I never thought much of them until now. I'm sure it's time to replace it, but I'm almost tempted to get another.
