This car is an absolute shitbox with a million electrical issues. Just got a new starter 2 weeks ago, and the alternator was replaced 18 months ago, so i knew the battery was the likely culprit.

Anyway, gonna make my ancestors proud and go throw the old battery into Lake Erie

    Bro, you drive a beetle? How’s it holding up? Had one about 20 years ago, and the damn thing broke down so frequently we had to sell it, still under the full warranty.

        Yeah, when it’s running it’s great. But damn does this car require a lot of work

      Not OP, but I’ve had that same car in that same color for over 16 years. Nearly 200k miles. I basically do nothing aside from routine maintenance as per the manual.
