That's the nice thing about my truck I can still get the 1000cc for it, the OL's car is like 675 max any bigger and it won't fit. Too mach crap packed into the Grand Prix engine compartment.

Daughter had a GP one time. Know what you mean about crap in the engine compartment. Had to jump start it one time and couldn't find the battery. Finally saw a little post stickin' up to put a jumper cable on.Battery was under a radiator support bracket and a flat washer fluid reservoir..ya couldn't see it.

You guys reminded me that I should go out and run the RV for a while today. Maybe I'll just take it for a spin. Of course, I'll have to put on the snowmobile suit to do that, since it takes about 30 miles to heat that big 'ol cave up!

Yep that's the one, the headlight on that side is fun too.

Me thinks there is a reason they aren't made anymore!
The Midget's battery is easy enough to get to, but no fun to take out. Unless you love to flirt with danger, removal of the bonnet is advised.
And, no, this is not my car.

Stick a propane heater in it for 15 minutes prior to journey.

The suit is cheaper to run! I could run an extension cord out and fire up its furnace, but that sounds a lot like work. I haven't run the generator in it for a couple of years, so that is not an alternative. It started leaking oil and I have been lazy to play with it. Besides, that Onan is the loudest piece of crap anyway.

That car's battery removal could give you a lesson in welding.

I would love to have a Honda 3000 watt generator to mount on back, but they cost almost as much as the RV is worth.

Yep they are crazy quiet and crazy expensive.
