Most of the work I have to do on my car is work that would have to be done on a newer car too. Tonight I replaced all four brakes and rotors. Two weekends ago it was two tie rods, trans service and filters. Before that I needed tires, hoses, thermastat, belts etc... If I was driving a brand new E300 I would be needing to do the same stuff.

I think I will get rid of hre when too many non-normal wear items start to go. That is the stuff that anoys me. Unil then... 185K and still cranking!!
