Russ Johnson, I think we agree on just two points, but your sentences are vague. First, I don't know who you're replying to, because I don't see anyone saying they have to charge their battery "just once a month."

Second, what's fishy? That it's *just* once a month?? Or that there's nothing unusual about having to do that??

What the hell are you talking about with "everybody knows that car manufacturers don't put in the best batteries..."? What an absurd generalization. Which manufacturers? What does "best" mean? What evidence do you have? Don't project your fantasy onto what "everybody knows."

As for "...there will come a time that the battery will die" who is arguing that point??

We agree that some people seem to think they deserve stuff for free. Many others, though, including myself, do not feel so entitled. Over the decades I've eaten countless expenses and endured countless problems that seemed unfair. Unfortunately, that's life. But I can easily believe there's a design flaw with these Subarus and/or batteries because my battery was dead in my *new Forester* the day I bought it 8 years ago. The salesperson had to jump it on the lot. Then it left me stranded at least two more times. I complained and got resistance at first, which made me angry. They finally gave me a new battery, which they claim was removed from another car, leaving some other poor sap with my problem. Irresponsible! And then the replacement battery was equally weak, as determined by a Subaru mechanic. I never had such issues with any previous car.

We agree on one other thing: some people *are* stupid, though I would be cautious of such judgment if I couldn't form sentences clearer than yours. Other people, like yourself, just come across as insulting and overly quick to jump to conclusions.
