Hah.  I don't quite have your flair for the written word, but every now and then I pop out a gem. Every dog has their day and what not.

Well said. Stuff will happen to an older car. But the good thing is you don't have a 600/mo car payments going out. I put less in maintenance and repairs into our 5 BMW's than I would spend on one car payment for a new one. So keep up with the maintenance to minimize self inflicted injuries and fix things as they come up.
