So what do you drive ?

6 month, 13,927 mile check in. 2nd oil change last week, it was MUCH cleaner than the factory stuff after only 5k miles. I used the all wheel drive for the first time today as we have a bit of drizzle today (it's coming down at about an inch an hour). Wow, they have made huge advancements over the last 15 years. My last truck would violently clank in and out of 4wd high and I wouldn't use it. Now I just feel it slightly vibrate and tug on the steering wheel with no noise, it's really cool. Not as much 4x4 street cred as the locking transfer case but in reality, I'd rather have the world's largest Subaru.

Just had the battery die in my 2013 Ram. I looked at my records and they said I last replaced the battery in 2017. I didn't believe it, but sure enough that was the case. Pretty impressive stuff from the Duralast Gold battery. And I even bought the last one at the same store and had the receipt. In 2017 this battery cost $199, and today it was $219. I didn't think that was too bad.

My 2014 went 9 years on the factory battery, traded it in with the same one I bought it with. Had a hiccup at Petit one year but no issues after that jump.

I just turned 1800 miles on my truck that's a year older than someone's new Ram. But I'm thinking he's getting better mileage than my 16 currently.

Not the same story here about electrical components even EV bicycle batteries are now sky high, Bosch units went from € 370 to € 600. Two years ago I could have the alternator of my Bimmer fixed for circa € 70 now its € 160 when a brand new unit is € 240. And it becomes hard to find a long lasting 105 AH battery. Same for the motorcycles, the Yuasa made in Japan are almost impossible to source.
