I will just ride in my X5 35D even though I might have a dead battery some day. I cannot remember having a car that did not have a dead battery at some time. Even then it was never more than a small inconvenience.

Hey, as I said, I would never buy a Lexus, but if a friend had one, I'd be happy to ride with them.

But I must say that I haven't had a dead battery in a car for more than 25 years. I typically test my batteries' voltage every 6-12 months and routinely replace them every five years to avoid the inconvenience of a dead battery an an opportune time. I've taken that approach since I once had to replace a battery in the dark at night in Detroit, using a flashlight, in a windy snowstorm with the temperature around zero.
