I'm starting to get a bit weary of the nearly constant attention our '93 with about 170k miles needs. At the moment it needs the front struts and mounts (POS aftermarket argh ....) replaced, the auto tranny bushing and seal replaced as well as one or two taillights. Hardly a month goes by when something or another doesn't need replacement. So far none of the things has individually been terribly expensive, and I do the work myself so my out of pocket costs are not too extreme. If I were paying the local $100+/hour book shop rates I'm sure it would have been financial insanity to keep the car going.

Last week I had to replace the temporary spare because the thing literally self destructed from age.

So, when do y'all give up?
