People with expirience still have running cars. Mine came apart last week and my new one will be on the road this week.

They are all driving their cars everyday.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. These cars are as much as 14 years old. They have nearly 200,000 miles on them in a lot of cases. They need maintanence. They don't need "Highway Battles", or 6k rpm clutch drops without being sure the car is in tip top shape. They need to have oil in the valvetrain before you rev the shit out of them.

Good luck with yours.
