Re: Brick/Bulletproof

[David Herlihy <davidh1972@yahoo.com>]

No I don't think my car is never going to breakdown. I
would have bought a Honda or Toyota if I wanted that
experience and even then those aren't "bulletproof"

I'm coming from drving a Peugeot remember. Not to
knock that car at all, but they can be a hand full.
Also in defense of that car we made a lot of mods to
it and created some problems of our own. But there
were things on it that were bulletproof. The engine
was all but indestructible. Add oil and run.

Stuff WILL happen to this car I'm sure. Hopefully not
to the extent that it has happened to others. I know
what the "real" problem areas are for this car and I
keep an eye on them. All in all I take care of my cars
way better than the average person (that's not a knock
on you Billy at all) and I think that alone can make a
car "bulletproof". Very loaded word that one when you
refer to a car.

In the meantime. I'm just going to flatout enjoy this
car the way its suppose to be and worry about how
"bulletproof" it is later. :)
