My Maxima cost me $425 in damage to other cars

I've been driving my Maxima so exclusively that the batteries in two of my other cars went completely dead and had to be replaced for $425.

Perhaps he is telling is that he has other cars as well as the Maxima.

But he enjoys driving the Maxima so much that he has not driven the other cars enough to keep their batteries charged. Or the other things which occur with cars which sit for a period od time.

I've been driving my Maxima so exclusively and for so many years it's saved me at least $635/month for the past 15 years.

Sure, it's not the latest abd greatest, but good enough. 635 a month into a 401k for 15 years builds nicely.

One time the woman next door was trolling for marriage prospects. One of the guys she was dating drove a BMW suv. It's custom license plate was: GOT BMW. I thought: Got High Payments.

This is exactly his point of the thread.

Exactly. Sorry for the confusion, but this is what I meant when I said that the batteries in two of my other cars were dead because I was driving my Maxima around so much.

I own a 2014 Rav4 and I still prefer to drive my 98 I30. It runs so smooth after being on TCW3 for 5 years now. I just need to fix the CV rubber boots.

The batteries that went dead were on two sports cars. I'm lucky it only cost $425!
