(Jim- I dont want this to be a class thing, or a how much money you make thing. I have a personal aversion to hacking. It is an unavoidable issue as cars age and the cost of repair doesnt 'scale' with the acquisition costs. All cars, it always happens. However it is, in a way, sad. Sad for the car, for it not being able to be repaired the way it 'should'.


Just my two cents. Appreciate your participation here, even if it sounds like we are snobs. )
