Did they test the battery before exchanging it? Did you clean the battery terminal connectors when you replaced it? Corrosion is a common non-start issue that I've seen happen to friend's and even experienced my own cars several times. My first diagnostic action when it comes to power issues is to hit the clamps with a wire brush/terminal cleaner and then resecuring the post wires all the way to the base and tightening them down nice and snug. A metal to metal connection is mandatory when dealing with automobile batteries. You'd be surprised at how many times cleaning the contacts will remedy the issue.

Didn't do anything to it today other than take photos, a little over a month ago I put new pads on, painted the calipers, put the Lexus decals on them, and clear-coated them. I have new aftermarket wheels and tires ready for next spring when it comes out of storage.

Back in MIA
M2's been garaged up on the trickle charger. COVID got me working from home full time last 7 months. Didn't notice that the outlet switch was turned off by someone.

Waiting to see if battery is a wrap. :mjcry:

Tire caught a shank and couldn't be plugged. :sadbron:
Took that bytch to the dealership. No tires in stock so it had to be ordered and won't be fixed until Monday after lunch. :deadrose:

Whole thing cost like $360, 370. :scusthov:


Good thing I got the tire warranty, driving around on these unworthy-ass streets. Costs me nothing but time. :whew:

That's a nice savings. I know Lexus be charging an arm and leg for services sometimes, they wanted $1000 for pad and rotors all around. I got the Vertini's and Michelin's from Discount Tire as well, whole package with new sensors, moount, balance, and install for $2950
