Something like a chain falling off a bicycle ?
Doug said:as long as it just won't stop cold. I just want to eke every last mile out ( 245k now).
Then I want to buy something about 2 years old with about 30k miles, instead of new. Should be able to get a much more expensive car that way, or at least a much better deal. Is that what most of you guys do ?
