Alan. Your expirience doesnt account for all DSM expiriences. I have daily driven my car for almost 3 years and have had no failures or multiplying problems. I have broke a u-joint twice at the track Launching at 6000 RPM with a welded center diff and plenty of power to break things with. Other than that I had a leaky water neck that never left me stranded and I fixed in about 10 minutes. You need to keep in mind that your GSX is 12 YEARS OLD. There are a lot of upgrades on that car. It was never intended to have the horsepower it has. You cannot expect it to last as long as a Civic with a filter on a stick and an Arospeed muffler.

Moral of the story is dont bad mouth a car because you dont have the time or the money for it. It is not the cars fault.
