Called AAA and they jumped my car, and replaced the battery right in my driveway.

Batteries just seem to last longer nowadays. Climate probably has an effect, though. I live in a fairly mild climate and get at least 5-8 years out of a battery but we don't have harsh winters that will really put stress on a battery.

I only use wal mart batteries, too...which are super cheap. lol

We have harsh winters here in Ohio! Maybe not as bad as Minnesota or something, but it still gets really cold.
