Put it all back on nice and tight, kiss the wife and say goodnight.
Great advice and basically what I planned on doing this weekend (general cleaning, but esp. to the negative side). Battery and cables otherwise are good (no chinese junk) and I have now driven the car to work and back ALL WEEK and am starting to feel more confident in its performance. Good thing, because I LOVE my Crossfire! This is the first car I have owned in my life that is something more than transportation.
BTW, after another week of driving without incident I will take your additional advice but I will kiss the husband and say goodnight!!
