I wonder if that's how our wives think about us???....... I have mixed emotions because I hated constantly working on it, but I still loved that car.

Depends.I wonder if that's how our wives think about us???
Yes sir. 04 with 155K on the counter. I see the pump as the next issue in the rotation.While I know it's not the fuel pump that went out, but was replaced because of dropping the tank for the fuel lines as a precaution, I don't think I've ever replaced a fuel pump where the tank was under 1/2 full. Never fails. Usually 3/4 or more of a tank. Probably just my luck
Did they ask your shoe size before fitting that to you.....View attachment 166104
Picked up my rental today while I wait on insurance. Do I mix the oil 40:1 or 50:1? They didn’t say.

Felt the same when I got rid of my 6speed A4. Objectively not a good DD, but I loved it.View attachment 166037
Well I have to say goodbye to my baby tomorrow. 2006 VW GLI with a stage 1 tune, putting out close to 250 HP with a 6 sp manual gearbox. I’ve owned quite a few cars, but this was by far the funnest car that I’ve owned. It was pretty fast, and had no problem breaking the tires loose in 3rd gear. Total sleeper.
Unfortunately, the early 2.0T engines were problematic, and I spent most weekends wrenching on it, as it had 190k on the odometer. Had some asshat smack the side of her last week, and it’s a total loss. Tow truck comes tomorrow to pick it up. I have mixed emotions because I hated constantly working on it, but I still loved that car.
I did that once. Totaled a '69 Chevy 1/2 Ton. I didn't hit him hard, but at just the right angle that I "diamonded" the frame.Then I rear ended a vehicle that stopped at a yield, started, then stopped again...I only stopped the 1 time.
My daughter had an Altima for years. Loved it, through her early 20's female driving, non-car-taking-care-of years. She bought it well seasoned with a lot of miles on the OD. She drove it into the ground and had to be told more than once to be shopping for the next one.I'm leaning towards a Nissan Titan (gas engine) for the next one so if anyone has any experience....
Well they are a "Titan"!One research method I use is looking on the various nationwide used car websites (Autotrader, Cargurus, Auto Tempest) and gettng idea of the highest mileage examples out there. Now, I know this goes most brands, but there are a lot of 300,000 mile Titans out there.
My major criteria are: full sized 1/2 ton, V8, crew cab, not overly optioned. I don't need 4wd, but finding 2wd is pretty tough these days. Total price is a factor as I would prefer to write a check. I really like my Chevy, but the prices are horrendous on Silverados. Titans seem to be the most truck for the money right now and I really like the 5.6L V8. The fact that other trucks may get a mile or 2 more per gallon means nothing to me.
