Thanks for all the responses and info. I got the Gold for $43 + tax (used all my discounts - got to Sears at 6:30Am and waited in a line, but I got my $10 gift card!!!!!) I paid the $13 for installation an charging system diagnostic (I can't believe I paid to have a battery installed, but I had NO time this weekend, don't have a garage, and it it wicked cold outside!) Total came to $61 and change. Their battery test confirmed the earlier result I got from my test from Monro (was part of a FREE oil change 🙂 ) - the original battery was not in good shape.
I now don't have to worry about my wife getting stranded with a dead battery (good timing on my part I guess, it is 3 degrees here in upstae NY with a -20 wind chill tonight!!!!)
