A few days ago I asked a sales person in a parts shop if the shop sold many of the $2-$3 hundred dollar batteries.  He said just to kids with big sound systems in their cars who mainly want to show the battery by leaving their cars parked with the hood open when around other kids.  Shouldn't do that in some parts of town, I'd say.  mcneely
