It's kind of like insurance. You'll need it sooner or later.

I have the same terrible lack of problems with my 92 LT1 . I bought the hi mileage car so I would have something to fix & challenge my wrench'in abilities . But no , I got a piece of perfection . Sometimes you can do everything right without even trying .

You guys don't understand and have the wrong attitude. If it ain't broke, fix it anyway!
