By the way, my warranty just covered a battery swap that would have cost over $500 otherwise.
And it's funny you mentioned a headlamp - the headlamp that had to be repaired and re-seated (not wholly replaced) after the deer cost a cool $1400.

Exactly. Nowadays they make it harder and harder with special tools and things. Or you almost have to have a hoist in your garage and not just a floor jack and stands. A person has to evaluate all that on what they are buying. In lots of ways I think it’s designed that way to keep the jobs outside of the DIY owners garage and keep it in the shop to keep those businesses and jobs available. Just a big shift in things and an in between consumer like myself has to adapt and decide what to buy or just cave in and not worry about it from a DIY perspective. Because the middle ground where I’m at on lots of things from a consumer perspective I’m just pissed at things I like or even love they no longer make. And I can’t go on an engineering killing spree without losing my soul so I just deal with it lmao
