My dad and I were talking the other day about all the vehicles we have had in the family over the years and recalled that only 1 truck and 1 car we have had needed "ALMOST" no repairs at all. No including tires, battery, oil changes.
My dad had a 1984 Toyota Supra that he owned from new 35 miles on it to about 187,000 5 years later when he traded it, all that ever needed repair on it was the rear shocks. One day he was driving down the street and they just failed. That was the one and only time anything broke on that car. It still had the original clutch.
Also my dad owned a 95 Ford Ranger 2.3L. Owned that from 95 to 2002. It had more than 350,000 miles on it when and I still have no idea how she did it blew up the engine. Anyway the only time that ever went into the shop was to get a smog device replaced at the dealer that was still under the warranty. Yes surprisingly the original clutch on that to.
Pretty amazing to me. Anyone else?
