I am amazed how clean my motor is at 10-years old. I owned the car for 8 years and I never cleaned the engine compartment, but it is really very clean in there. I think it must have something to do with that cover under the motor and I think keeping the engine clean must contribute to the longevity of these cars.
It is so clean in there

I think it might be like always going back to that same bad relationship with an ex girlfriend.
You feel you love them too much, or you are just too stupid to know any better.
