The Costco one in my crown Vic lasted from 06-2017.i repacked it due to corrosion starting to form around terminals constantly.
Also, I ran a Walmart battery in the vette with no issues, ever start maxx ?! Anything with a warranty makes it ok
One of the reasons I replaced all the grounds in the Corvette when refreshing it was that batteries seem to not last too long and it cranks over slow when it's been sitting... but it's been this way for probably a year and always still goes, so the in me is

I bought my C5 with a Walmart battery (ever start maxx) in it. I couldn't believe the abuse that thing stood up to. Was 7 years old when I replaced it, and I deep cycled it multiple times...cranking got slow, but it kept going.

My guess would be that Chris took some time off because he has read the dialogue on this page 1,345 times and decided to spend some of his free time doing something besides beating a horse to death.
I got the Duralast Gold for the dude said not to bother spending the extra $50 or whatever for the Platinum version, but if I decided I want to that I can go to an autozone and trade for one of those and just pay the difference

Bay Area is battery Valhalla, does not count.

Yes it's a cool car. But prepare the lube/sawdust.
That’s why I go oem only or highly reviewed/tested aftermarket at near oem pricing.
Oem tends to cost 3-5x more than the cheapest off brand but for a reason
Just one time replacing a shock or something more than needed makes it easily worth the premium. In some cases OEM is shit (looking at you, GM) though, so research is required to find better stuff.
I feel like in the past I've probably cheaped out on batteries - mostly just due to them dying when they die and Advance Auto or whatever always being close and easy. I should probably just go buy a nice battery for the Corvette as it's been turning over slow for a while now if it sits for more than a few days, which is often as I never drive.
Hopefully my NAPA sensor does well. If I ever get it in.

You've got to be kidding me look at this roof
Map of Detroit on the roof... I guess its true that you can take the car out of the 'hood, but you can't take the 'hood out of the car.
Where's the $500 option to remove that?
What's stupid is the truck was engineered I'm Auburn Hills and is built in Warren. There's zero connection to Detroit with that truck.
This is the reveal that I think will really The beginning of the end.

But will it be anywhere as good as a G Wagen. And about 7 seats. When you have 6 figures for a vehicle you are not piling 7 humans inside.
Escalade and Navigator sell surprisingly well. Bigger is better, even if you don't use the space. Duh.

20-30k units a year seems like a shitty market to chase. But more is better indeed, would be great to see the imperial name to come back. Those cars were better than Cadillac and Lincoln at a time when Cadillac and Lincoln were world standards.

Fca needs a nice luxo brand
That's just the high end. There's a range planned to go after mainstream as well. Tahoe and Expedition type.

Nope. But the branding strategy makes no sense to me. I don't work on the product, so it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Chris was right. The Grand Renegayde everyone
Oh look a last gen suburban
Right?! It's so unimaginative. The first Grand Wagoneer in 1963 was in the market. Nobody had ever made a 4x4 SUV with luxury features in it (power steering, brakes, and windows standard, etc) to that point.
This is just copying others with a brand not many people care about anymore.

I was very disappointed when I saw this late last night, and even more so this morning, and all I've looked at so far is the exterior. The back glass/windows and the grill just kill it for me and I'm no even remotely interested in learning anything more about it at this point. They swung and missed, hard, on this.

Agreed.
BUT
There's another 3-row coming that I think will be more appealing.

Another 3-row? Is it gonna be more Durango sized or be the size of the GW?

GW is body on frame and meant for towing and ultimate fancy. on the market for it, but margins are strong on that sort of vehicle, soooo
There's room for a more Durango sized unibody 3-row. That segment has exploded recently with the Teluride and redesigns of the Explorer and Highlander.
