One repair does not make a trend. Today, I have another 8000Km (5000
miles for you americans) since the repair.
Stricter emission laws in Ontario with a bar they keep raising every 2
years, is about to bring me to expensive repairs on the "oldie".
Parts are getting more difficult to obtain. No air bags of any kind.
And lots of deer that I've managed to (luckily avoid, and skirt) on
the dark roads of the countyside.
Again, I just have to plan for the POSSIBLE additional expense as a
result of the new car.
