they sell washer type things to go between the battery and terminal that will stop that from happening. they're only like a dollar and some places give them free with the purchase of a new battery. looks like typical corrosion to me but i could be wrong.

Typical corrosion. Clean it with a wire brush and smear dielectric grease all over the terminals before you put the cables back on.

Quote me now while I'm feeling good about it.  I've decided a WRX will be the vehicle that replaces the Jeep.  I can't see paying Evo prices or justifying purchasing a halfassed/beat to death example for the same asinine amount of money.  For an affordable, point to point, all-weather capable performance car, a wagon fits the bill.  A swapped wagon, even better.
