i'm looking into buying an optima battery...what size / style fits our cars (94-95 GT) the best? also, i store the car most of the winter and drive my crappy commuter car, so i want to pick the one that will be able to handle storage with occasional (once a week or so while the snow is out there) starts the best....any ideas would be appreciated, oh, and pictures too if you have them! by the way, red top, yellow top? which one? i'm lost. no more die hard golds for me, blech.

Well, I would only suggest the yellow top if you have a stereo system in you car that would put a strain on your electrical system. I believe either of the red top batteries will fit in the stock battery tray with no problem. The yellow top requires you to relocate the battery or make a new battery tray.
