...a financially troubled client in Europe owes me $300K+ and has gone totally silent...

but hey, on the bright side...

my TT cranked right up this morning after sitting for over a month!

Default It's safe to say...

The TT still has no resale value.

Default Think my battery is dead/dying. Is there anything to check(component failures) for slow voltage draw

while sitting? My battery was replaced under warranty last Fall for the same reasons. I've noticed it has been slow to crank over the past month or so but haven't really driven it much recently. Everything works this morning but won't turn over... stock Audi battery has lasted a little over a year/12K mi, not too good imo.

Will probably get a Sears International or Interstate equivalent as a replacement this weekend. Are there any other recommended "standard" batteries I should look at around ~$100? TIA.

Default Yup, jump in when there is blood in the street and fear is at all time highs......

buy low, sell high...easier said than done. Stocks are low and most run scared and sell, stocks go high and most get greedy and wait too long.

Default yup....

fighting off the urge to cash out everything else and buy, buy, buy the stocks this morning. Sure as I do, we'll plunge into the 2nd great depression and I'll be standing in line for some soup for the next 5 years.
