I keep getting random people telling me they love the look of the car.

2025 Kia Niro SX Touring

I'm in my driveway today and there is some road work going on and a construction worker stops and tells me unsolicited that he loves the way my car looks and asks what kind of car it is. This happens to me, a couple of times a month, in parking lots, at Costco, at the grocery store, parked at the local park. This color combination and the stripe strikes some people so well they actually ask about it if they see me near it.

I could understand a Lamborghini or some sort of fancy muscle or sports car. But this is a Kia. It's making my wife crazy.

Battery question/Issue - advice?

OK, so I bought a deal online in 12/24 from Lowes of a tool box, a charger, a 2 amp and 4 amp 24 v battery. Both batteries have died. I went into Lowes and the manager swapped me the 2 amp reluctantly, told me to call next time get an RMA and he has no 4 amp.

Called Kobalt, they gave me an RMA but insist I must return the entire kit (which is no longer available) meaning the tool box, charger 2 and 4 amp battery. All I need replaced in the 4 amp, and I'll throw back the new 2 amp if it makes the RMA happy to get 2 working batteries back.

But return the charger and the toolbox? Heck, I gave the tool box to my dad, I didn't need it. (Xmas time, yo know?) Come on. The warranty is on the battery, not the package.

How's my best way to approach them? To top it off, no store in reasonable distance has in stock single batteries, and the 2 packs are 2 2 amp or 2 4amp, no 2 amp plus 4 amp, so not sure the deal anyway.

Advice? I just want my 4 amp replaced. Not all this drama. Thanks
