OK, but I'll bet my car is as reliable as any out there. In 45 years of driving I've needed to be towed off the highway once when this car's electric fuel pump quit. (Brush lead was assembled wrong at the factory!) I've also done a couple of "side of the road" repairs.

I "listen" to my car and investigate any new noise or change in driving characteristics until I understand the cause. Checking things carefully and changing fluids I do with religion, but replacing things that still work fine offends my Yankee heritage. (And would raise the cost per mile of driving.)
