What does it cost if it boils all the acid out, all over the inside of your frunk?
What kind of damage to your car/battery guarantee comes with it?
Reckon your plug modification voided any warranty it may have had?

I used to filter my $7.00 a quart gear lube through cheese cloth, back into my Hewland race gearbox. $8500.00 later, I figured I hadn't really saved that much.

Not tryin to be a smart-ass, just hope you learn from my stupidity!
