    Us as men, need to watch out for each other more often.

    Shout out to each other who/what we really are.

    Women get complimented on a daily, to the point where they expect it. They're also better at looking out for one another.

    We need to do the same for the homies :fistbump:

    I dunno man, women can be vicious toward each other too...like in an insidiously psychological way

    But yeah I agree with the sentiment as a whole

    I forgot about their battery; I did replace my sister's car with one some years back.

    I think that's when I said "my sister that hates me, texted me out of the blue asking for help"

    That's the only time she talks to me :playball:

    I wrote off AGM due to the price, because I'm pretty sure she wants to get rid of her car in a year or two when we try for kids.

    She said we can keep it so I can fuck off on the 4R and use it instead but IDK.

    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' :laughing:

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

    https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...7ko5pVq3iUOrF-TC1xKEEIndeWDVrmaBoC0NcQAvD_BwE

    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

    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.

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

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

    Edit: Deka is the third one.

    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 :laughing:


    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
