my truck has 37K miles and is three years old, I just noticed it to be slightly sluggish when starting, but still fires right off.... I'm keeping my jumper cables nearby and making sure I have the money for an Optima when ever it goes, I'm going straight to the store and replacing it.

Mine barely started last winter one morning when it was right around 0 degrees outside, got a new battery at work (el cheapo) but its done the trick ever sense.
