Optima Battery Replacement

I know many people would be interested in getting a optima battery for weight reduction but do they even make one for C class. I checked the optima page and there is no battery for our cars. Anyone have any idea?

Why!

Do you really think you are going to feel 20 lbs. in weight reduction?

Get your girlfriend on the diet. At least visually she would look better.

First of all , the battery is not for me and is for a fellow c32 member.

According to your own collegue, mach430, "Yep, good move! We've been putting Odessey Batteries in many of the cars that come through our shop for this exact reason. Saving 30lbs is like adding 3hp in acceleration."

And lastly, my WIFE is beautiful as she is at 100 pounds, she does not need to lose any weight! You would not know what she looks like visually becuase you have not seen her.

How about you lose the pathetic attitude. A dozen weight saving mods can make a huge difference to available power.

I have a better solution. I just carry around my wife's ashes in the cupholder. They only weigh 4 ounces, and they never complain about me driving too fast.

Well, my friend, if you can not take a joke, than what can I say...............

Ben is a salesman. Ohhh wait - nevermind........

He just quit last Friday...........

Everyone else - lighten up, C32 is just a car.

Instead of reading this board go spend more time with your wife, girlfriend or whoever else is in your passenger seat.
