...we have all experienced makakio's reality as our vehicles wear and age...a car purchased and put together piece by piece by a consumer is far more expensive than having the factory assembly line do it

factories naturally have buying efficiencies, labor efficiencies, tooling efficiencies, machining efficiencies, etc.

I've found that if the vehicle still lights your fire...it often justifies the unreasonable cost/benefit economics associated to keep it together

in other cases, I've come to a point where the current and forecasted financial outlay outweighs the passion for the vehicle at the time ...so selling it appeared to be the correct decision....no matter however, there's always other less needy vehicles and more passion to go around

people also breakdown and need more care as they age....but, we can't realistically get rid of them...I guess some hold cars to a harsher standard...

have a great halloween!
