I'm a former automotive tech and after owning a few fords, a chryslter lebaron , a ponitiac grand prix and a chevy blazer, I can say that I'm estatic that Detroit has turned into one big slum (Karma?).
I've burned out only one tail light in 134k miles on my 01 camry. THAT'S IT... The rest has been scheduled maint..I even drained the differential when doing a trans fluid replacement and forgot to refill the differential for about 500 miles. That was about 50k miles ago and nothing ..! Heck my clocks would die on my GMs at 60k. And from there it was down hill. way down hill.
