do you think the guy that buys an f40,a modena or that new bugatti says 'hey why do i need to do so much maintainence on this car,when i haven't changed the plugs in my yugo for two years!'if i gave you the choice between a brand new accord or a 5yr old porsche i know what 90% of us would take
sure it's frustrating when things go wrong with our babies(how many accord drivers refer to their cars like that?) but when they're running strong you wouldn't want anyhting else(well,i wouldn't!).i grew up with the"engineered like no other" banter and wish i never had to worry but that's life.
to paraphrase Heston you can take the keys to my M.B. 'from my cold dead hands!'
for my wife's crv-just write me the cheque!!
