In the state of Seattle (formerly known as washinton) if you drive east, you will encounter the sierra madre mountains. well, with my dying battery I was able to to drive up there and almost back.... got triangle of death TOD. After the TOD, I was still able to limp back home. Well it doesn't really limp, it just drives on the engine only and ignores the battery all together. Going up there, it would only muster 47MPH lol.
