A year ago my dad and I walked into a local Sears for a battery for my
Tomato. The cute young-ish salesgirl asked "for what car?" and a I
grinned as I told her, thinking that would throw her for a while. About
90 seconds of consultation with an AC Delco catalogue later, she walked
over to the display and said "the book says this one fits Alpines."
