As do I.... I've been buying them for years. I have had a few of them go bad, but that's when I allow it to discharge over the winter and it freezes. I've got a couple of battery tender/chargers now.

Loss my front emblem yesterday, looks like it snapped off based on the remaining post marks. Another thing to add to the list. Brake fluid loss has become an issue in the last week. Unsure how to deal with it but will diagnose tonight.

I’ve got one for you, probably in either black or classy blue

Looking good !
Now what about a couple of ear gauges, if your really going down this path.

Took a look under the car, my passenger trailing arm severed at the ball joint. Could not identify yet where the leak is in the brake lines. It looks to be somewhere under the front drivers side so i cleaned the reservoir and booster with a cloth. Hoping to see if the puddle will guide me.

A rear trailing arm sheared off?! That's not good. Was there an impact of some kind? Land on a big rock? Severe rust?

Do you have a photo?

It probably yanked the brake line backwards and sheared it off under the car
