1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I've got Napa, Interstate and Diehard batteries. The Diehard has drained faster out of the three.

 

Oh don't need to remind me, they can be equally vicious towards their 'SO'

 

This was the brand I got, same price (after returning my old one)

Was all they had in stock minus the economy version, didn't feel like driving around shopping for batteries so I just picked it up

 

Well.....it's only $20 more than every other battery at 179.99.

 

If Napa is still having a 20% off bucket sale you can buy batteries with it. That's how I got mine for cheap.

 

They usually carry Optima too for closer to $300 if that's your jam lol.

My truck had a red top optima in it when I got it, worked fine. But I've heard they aren't the same reputable company they used to be

 

I remember reading about their rep when some new vette burned down to the ground.

 

thats a good one too, thank you. Mainly going to come in hand for if/when shit actually breaks. Lmk if any other ideas come to mind

 

I love the bucket sale, my Napa guy will throw anything under that discount for me bucket sized or not.

 

i gotchu now, thank you man i appreciate it! Always enjoy catching up on your guys' shit! All a group of genuine dudes here to help each other and grow

 

Some unfortunately, can't be helped

 

They are all made by either East Penn or Clarios/Johnson Controls. Pick the cheapest and run it.

Edit: Deka is the third one.

 

still shitty i haven't had a chance to meet any of u in person. sure itll happen with time

 

I'm a Russian bot

 

Yeah, they were good when they were new. My second one in my old truck died after a couple of months. We pulled a 'bad' battery off the dead battery pallet at work and I ran that for a few years


I went with an everstart from walmart this last time. so far so good.

 

Get to tour a daycare today on my lunch break. One thing you don't realize until you have a kid is how difficult finding a daycare can be. They are all waitlisted like crazy (not including the neighborhood houses with "cheap daycare" makeshift signs in the yard, we're not that desperate yet).

If I had to give advice to anyone it would be this....live close to family if you plan on having kids. Even if they drive you crazy. You'll save so much freakin money

 

Have you considered a forced labor camp for children? They pay you, it's really a win win situation

 

I'll check and see if Nike is hiring kids right now

 

Hiring is the wrong word

 

why not do a local babysitter? (bare with me i dont have kids)
