I use my car as a DD

Picture this:
Your the 2nd last car to leave the Cruze.
Dead battery for what ever reason
The other car has jumper cables. and he's 12v

yea yea I know it can br done, but make a mistake, and the lights are blown

Besides that, can't wait to be able to see my instruments at night
Not a problem if you have any knowledge of this stuff at all.

If all else fails, a push start works, too. Orient the car properly if there is a slope and get a couple of guys to push it or even "bump start" it if the grade is sufficient. And then there's always the crank.

Lots of options.
