It seems like nonstop nonsense, Ive had pretty good luck with both of the current cars but everything seems to happen at once, I was also saving up to handle a couple things which is now put on hold. Its just annoying, if I didnt care about cars, I would just buy a civic and keep it forever and be rolling in cash lol.
Hahah yup. My buddy drives a 2wd 5sp '96 Dakota and adds oil every few months when his oil pressure drops, and has literally never put a single part on it in years. It runs perfect. And blows my mind.

That's what the Evo was to me, felt that every time I got in the car. That was why I sold it. You can't even go what feels like a week without some maintenance item hanging over your head.

CleanNeon, I'm with Shipman, and then some. I need a car that can fit a sound system, guitar equipment, drum set, etc and can tow a small trailer all while sitting 5 people comfortably. The touring would fit the bill fine (reason why I bought it) if it would stop leaking different things and chewing up anything rubber.

I've been toying with selling the Touring and grabbing an XJ Cherokee, but I'm not 100% sold on that yet. Just hard to find something that's not gheysauce that is able to do what I need it to do.
