Spent $450 on a 35 mile tow
I was picking someone up at the airport waiting in the cell phone lot, and the fuel pump just decided to quit living. Zero warning or symptoms prior to that point, just went from running perfectly to sputtering and dying. Fortunately the pump was on clearance at FCP Euro, but man - nothing simple ever goes wrong on this car. It's always things that disable me from making it home.
- Water pump blew up in New Mexico the day I bought it. Brother had to drive down from Colorado and tow me back to his house.
- Front differential self destructed in Virginia. I had to fly home, get my truck and rent a trailer, drive all the way back to VA and tow it back home.
- Fuel pump went out in New Orleans. $450 tow home.
