    I pay people like you to do it for me.
    No, you don't. You're too pathetic to do it on your own. It takes you more time to drive to the auto shop to get it done than to do it in your garage (carport, in your case).

    If OP's time is money, and he's waiting 3+ hours to get a battery changed, what does that make his time worth? Not much.
    Changing my battery requires removing the driver’s seat.

    No thanks.

    Benny is cheap, and I can drop my car off to him while I grab lunch. Coming back to see his manager yelling at him is an added bonus.
    Perhaps Battery Changing was his Major in Cowvalley.

    I think the only way BB could self own more than his current meme, would be bragging about how much better it is to be home at New Years vs on the road watch your team play.

    My deceased father, the 40 plus year lumber mill diesel mechanic, I believe would rise from his grave and whip me with a jumper cable if I ever paid anyone to replace my car battery. I'm not judging you and I definitely have had some painting and handyman jobs that I could have done myself but paid someone to do it instead but paying someone to replace the car battery would be bridge too far.

    In any case, There is a show on hgtv of poor people buying vacation properties they are squeaking into and renovating them to make Tens of Thousands of dollars per year in rental income via VRBO etc.

    Has to be pre-Covid. Every single one of these is headed for foreclosure.

    All real estate is local. I know some VRBO and Air BnB markets were strong AF this year. You couldn't find a rental in Central OR this summer to save your life.

    But if you're in HI it probably wasn't a good situation.

    What the hell kind of car do you have? Sounds like a lawnmower.

    New cars are so fucking gay. 4runner battery takes like 3 mins. Am I right @SFGbob or am I right? But I'm still toast when the solar flare cums according to @Swaye .
    Hell it took me 15 mins to even find the battery on the wife's new Volvo.

    What in the actual fuck? The seat has to come out? Jesus.

    No wonder everyone has such a bad attitude these days. Their fucking batteries are under the seat!

    Not when all the sane people relocate to Texas, the Gulf states and the Southeast.
