Love your piece. As an energy healer, some of this naturally spills into the cars I drive, at least I think so. Or it could be delusional, lol.
My father told me a car battery will last for 10 to 12 years. I decided that was trueโโโwith proper battery care. My mechanic told me batteries only last about 7 years. I told him that my then current battery for my Toyota Pick-up had lasted 12 years and I expected 3 more years from it. He nearly fell off his chair.
After over 600,000 miles, if I hadnโt been rear-ended I might till have had the truck.
