Greased the front end, checked the oil and blaaaahhh, the battery was gushing all over!
White crusty 1/2" thick everywhere. Had to take the battery out, and mix up some soda water and watch it foam. Scraped the big chunks. Rinsed it with some vinegar. While it was drying, I went to get a new battery. Spray painted it red, (because the engine bay is still red)
.Put it all back together with a new battery mat and some post lube (corrosion inhibitor).
Seems all goody now
Thanks Greg

I just retired and can't be part of this conversation.
Driving in rush hour traffic will be missed.

Re: Take you Roadster to Work Day
It was warm and sunny in the Bay Area today.
I took the Roadster to work and came home via the scenic route.

Re: Take you Roadster to Work Day
It was 15 degrees when I left for work this morning, and plenty of salt on the roads. Roadster isn't going to work let alone even leaving the garage for a few months.
