Put gas in mine today. Had to drive really slowly to make it to town on the little that was left in the tank. Chevron must make decent gasoline since it lasts for a long time. Well, at least with some Star Tron added. The prior fill-up was on 5-30-23.

I had a very early Red Top, a prototype actually, that also lasted a LONG time. How long I don't remember, but that one didn't live an easy life. It was never on a maintainer or treated to desulfation, and got to run my Jeep's winch every now and then. It was impressive. Come to think of it...

My record is 24 years on a set of Optimas. It probably helped that they were always on a Canadus desulfator, and on a BatteryMINDer maintainer when parked, or a solar panel when out and about in the sticks.

Until there's a curve in the road....where a 911 driver wouldn't even have to lift.

We've done that. And used oil out of sardine cans in the crankcase. Sometimes, after a rollover, you do what you gotta do to get going again.

That's good to know. We once put water in the master cylinder to be able to make it off a trail and back home. Water, since nobody wanted to waste their beer. Well, those brakes only lasted about 20 miles. Had we only known that peanut butter would work...Not that we had any, but still.

Do the right front in the first quarter, the right rear in the second quarter, and so on. In one year they're all done and it's time to start over.
