Car Battery Replaced..... check!

I like cars.  I've always liked cars.  I even know more about cars than the stereotypical girl does.  But when it comes to maintenance performed under the hood (other than checking my oil) I'm a little at a loss.

I also refuse to be a helpless female, they are my bane.  I'm stubbornly independent and suffer from a math-complex.  This means I figure if I can get a masters degree in applied mathematics then surely I can figure things out on my own like changing a headlight or, in this case, replacing my car battery.

A few weeks ago I had my car in for an oil change, this is when they informed me my battery failed to pass their test.  My headlights had been seeming a little dim lately and a couple times it had trouble starting... ok, time to replace the battery.  However I happened to be at the dealership at the time and I refused their offer to replace it knowing they would charge me way more than I wanted to pay for it.  This is when I got it in my head I would change it myself.

So I did.  I bought a new battery at Costco for a very reasonable price and replaced it just this morning on my own.  Not a lick of help from anyone.  I have to say, I'm kinda proud of myself.
