This strategy is very inconvenient if the car dies on these particular days, and crapping out on some of those days are a lot more expensive than other days, ie, a missed vacation flight. Obviously this poster has never worked in operations, where the whole operation shuts down for maintenance issues is a big net loss for the organization.
Personally, the dumbest operational strategy i have ever read. Also reads like a academic / consulting financial strategy to save money, like the railroads deferring regular track maintenance, until the tracks give way and the accident rail cars contain very poisonous / flammable contents. .

The day you start paying for my vehicle's maintenance and repair is the day I'll take your diatribe for anything other than a pompous, self-serving response.
I've gotten along pretty well all these years without your sage advice. Would I replace a $250 battery just because it reached a certain age? Absolutely not. But hey, if this is something you do, by all means have at it.
