Thanks Bob - brand new battery fully charged before hooking it up. Holds its charge fine when the car is sitting, but after three or four short night drives with lights on and one 45 minute drive using the fans, it was just barely able to turn the engine over. I delivered the car to the paintshop yesterday for a new paint job and when I go to check on it today, I bet it won't be able to start.

The car ran beautifully when the new battery was just installed, but as battery output dropped, preformance began to suffer noticeably. I suspect I would not have made it much further than the paintshop before she died completely on me.
