I'm not driving it to work. No AC.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Must be nice. It's been mid 90's here all week and I don't have a/c.

Re: My new daily
The VR4 had a CAS problem that stranded me in MI. And the harmonic balancer left me in Lenexa once. Steering lines went. 
I'm sure there are other things I've forgotten.
My old white base went through 2 transmissions, and had other electrical gremlins. Alternator went once. Although, that could have been the VR4 too.
Yeah. You definitely need a backup with 3Ss.

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?

Any car that's 17+ years old is going to have random problems. Sucks, but reality. Not the best choice for a daily driver any more...

Re: My new daily
Pretty sure Jeff bought his car after I bought mine.
I've had it almost 2 years now, longest I've had a car.

Wow, seriously, only 2 years? Longest I have had one is 9 years. The red XJ. That was been super reliable. Exhaust rusted and needed replaced, radiator sprung a leak, and I just replaced a dead starter a couple weeks ago. Other than that, trouble free. Not bad for a 98 with only 140k on it.
Had my first truck for 4 years. Only had to replace a burnt out fuel pump relay.
Had the green 98 XJ for 3 years I think. The LJ is coming up on 2 years next week.
All my other ones were under 2 years I think though, or right around that mark. 2 years seems to be the average for me.

2 years? Come on that can't be right? I've never owned up less than 2 years.

[quote=""Jeff V.""]$30k for the car + $3500 for the warranty. $250 deductible. The warranty has more than paid for itself now. It's the extended periods of downtime that's pissing me off. All the research I did said these were solid cars. Either nobody owns an older one, or I just got a bad example. Oh well. I'd been thinking of selling it even before this happened. I'll do what I should have done in the first place and buy something practical.[/quote]
Bad example? I'm sorry but youre just dealing with usual vag issues. This is why I never recommend them and try to talk people out of buying one

Re: My new daily
It only has 71k.
This is why I have a warranty. It's not so much that it's happening, but it's that each repair seems to take a minimum of 2 weeks.

Re: My new daily
Jeff, was there an option at car max to get a repair "lease" vehicle along with the extended warranty for an extra few bucks. Or do they not offer those like big dealerships offer? Just curious.
