Nothing will break me. A human built it, a smarter human can fix it, and make it better. Short of it turning into a rust bucket, I’m in for life.

On a market with resteicted choices kinda like Soviet Union VS globally open ,arkets lime Europe and LatAM theres not a lot to choose from in a sea of costco design clones in costco fashion earth tones.

I take the Bronco for what it is, a $30K vehicle with $55K price tag thanks to competiton blocking. Everything else in market is boring even up to $300K region.....just boring, like the retro Fiat 126 interior in $300K Ferraris no wonders their margins are insane.

If my bronco was totaled, I would not be buying another. They are out of my price range now. That would technically be my breaking point.

I compare repair bills against a new vehicle's payments. If the repairs are less than a year's worth of monthly payments, I have saved money.
Same. I kept my 2002 3/4 truck 13 years, and I bought it used, lol. Finally, a nagging oil leak AND coolant leak that the shop couldn't fix did her in. I was driving around with jugs of coolant in the back seat when I drove to trade it in.

One of the idiosyncrasies of the BMW Z8 was that due to its low-profile tires, limited suspension travel, McPherson strut design and aluminum box frame architecture, it was highly susceptible to frame damage from large bumps and potholes. More than a few hit minor bumps and were practically totaled because the impacts bent the front sides inward. This would become apparent when the gap along the sides of the hood would shrink or even reduce to metal contact. Repair costs would exceed the value of the car in some cases because aluminum box frame repairs were insanely expensive.

So, I give you my level 10: if it turns out that hitting a minor bump in a certain way causes irreparable frame damage, or risk of fire (a la the Pinto), then that

Why not, I'm sure there is someone in the neighborhood that leaves the Christmas lights up all year around there 😁.
