Me too. My previous new car was a 1984 Dodge (I plead insanity!) and it was
awful from the start. A carburetor rebuild in the first week, a wiring short
I spent all day chasing through the interior of the car the first year out
of warranty.... At 5 years age and 90K miles it needed a new timing chain.
Step 1: remove engine from car. The timing chain cover was blocked by the
wheel well when the engine was mounted. You get the picture. Honda and
Toyota forever! No Nissans - we shall not speak of that again.
