If you care for cars in such a manner, no car will hold up very well.

John you can't help but seem nasty, after all you
are Canadian!!:p
I don't know if it was the original or not. I forgot to stop for gas and ran out driving to work one morning. I was in sight of a gas station when it stuttered and tried to restart the car by letting out on the clutch while in gear at around 40 mph. The result was that the belt teeth on the crank pulley stripped in place.
As far as keeping my cars up I have a good reputation. Several people who know me usually want my cars at new car time because they know that I keep them up.
