it's not covering the fact your car is a crispy critter though, you will short out the pos cable and basically be arc welding under your hood, put the bolt in it

ok so you said you had this problem before. Um I may just be taking a shot in the dark here, or don't know what I'm talking about, but have you tried your altinator, it may not be charging your battery.

lol.. you guys are jackasses. I went and moved with my hands and it barely even moved. Its not going to do anything more under hard braking then it would bolted in. Plus I need an extension to do it, unless I want to do 1/16 turns for 20 minutes again. Im not even worried about it.

your hands don't have the force of very hard deceleration. I have seen cars burned to a crisp because of owners too lazy to put it in right

I'd seriously consider replacing your alternator just in case, Justin. The car is a 97, after all. Almost 11 years on that alternator.

I've seen my fair share (I have replaced in the neighborhood of 100 between my cars and customer cars) come to think of it I have replaced an alternator in every car I have owned except my honda, but I only had it a year
