It let go because if a shit aftermarket part that I should have never put on it. The year before I did the same trip when the car had over 190k with out issue (pre wreck). Even after the wreck I've had pretty much no real issues with the car. Since I put the new motor in 5 months ago, I've changed the oil and changed a radiator and thats it.

Here's example, I re-installed my A/C system that has over 200k miles on it because I didnt put it back in right away when I got the car back together, charged it with R134 and it's been working for the last 7 months and 7-8k miles with out issue.

So yeah my car is still pretty reliable and dosnt break often.
