I don't own a GPS and before I had a compass in my truck, I would look for satalite dishes for direction.

How? It's not even real! Maybe this time with CGI. Remember to make a little crater this time from the thrust of the engines!

I had a Dodge that wouldn't climb the slightest incline in cold weather until I drove it for at least 20 minutes. The sad part was that I lived on a flat between two hills, so had to keep driving back and forth until it warmed up enough for the transmission to stop slipping. The saddest part though was that I had just bought it brand new (not rebuilt) from Dodge, it came from the factory with a bad pump.

Leaving a tractor block heater plugged in all the time, all winter won't use any more energy than just plugging in some period before use.

The only logical idea I致e ever heard is a small gravel puncturing the bottom of the battery where that probably wouldn稚 have happened on a different surface. Another possible outcome would be the battery eating the concrete. As for killing the battery I have no idea how that痴 supposed to happen.

I always thought it was from the days when battery cases were made of glass, and setting one on concrete would be a risk of breakage.

Concrete is usually quite conductive and placing a battery on concrete will in fact create a capacitor in effect, using the plastic bottom as the dielectric. BUT, a capacitor only passes AC, not DC, so that still doesn't explain it. The only other thing I could think of would be a usual temperature difference between ambient and the floor being colder.
