1: This girl seems cool.
2: BATTERIES ARE $220 NOW?!?!
Don't ever buy batteries from an auto parts store. Find a hole in the wall hardware store or a rural king or something like that and you'll get them way cheaper
To be fair, they seem to be better than they used to. My car hit 200k not too long ago and still has its original battery. I have no problems with it but I remember having much newer batteries where it was a gamble on cold mornings if it would start. Purely anecdotal though.
My car has 130k and I keep wondering when the battery is going to die, because when I was younger they didn't last this long and I just kinda forgot about it until it occurred to me recently.

They were never cheap...
My work truck has 2 batteries, it was a bit over $450 total 2 months ago
Im building a race car, for an extra $350 I can get a battery that weighs 2kg instead of 14kg.
Like... It does nothing else special other than weigh a shitload less.
That is a shitload , though hopefully not literally.
Seems worthwhile in this context, though.
Yeah, Im building a barely street legal "smiles per gallon" toy... in a 1025kg car I can save around 12kg each on the battery, spare wheel, aircond, back seat and wheels, few more on the carpet and sound deadening... few more on the flywheel. doesnt sound like much but the car will be about 6% lighter overall. Thats the low hanging fruit and the expense of losing more will be where it costs big cash or the car becomes illegal.

The price per battery goes up if you buy in bulk? WTF?
This is probably some US nonsense where the battery was $220 without tax, and the value at the register for the 99 batteries was with tax.
Needless to say: 🤢
Or OP meant to say one was $230 and 99 was $22,000.
I like this train of thought, but 99 x 230 = 22,770
The unstated premise being that $22,000 is discounted from $22,770 or OP just remembered the first two digits.
Oh yeah, I like this hypothesis
Wait that’s more expensive per unit than one. Ya gotta throw a dog a bone in bulk.
She’s seems cool tho
This comment has "what English sounds like to non-english speakers" vibes.
I feel the math is wrong but maybe I just don’t know enough about car batteries

I did something similar in the early '90s, but it was a carved wooden eagle at Busch Gardens. When I hit the sub total button the P.O.S. system for the whole park crashed because it was around a million dollars. lmao
