Sucks because the rest of the cars are very simple/easy to live with long term and don't even really rust that badly after about 2010 or so

Those Theta 4 cylinder engines are pretty poorly made, it's not uncommon at all for them to fail before 100k.

I'm getting up there too lol and I love it.

32 cylinders and 21.5 liters of displacement here? I'm so bad with numbers.

For a 2 person household lol. The numbers are gonna grow by another 5 liters and 8 cylinders within a couple years lol :-).
