IDK that was kinda rude.. I haven't been here too long but never seen anyone talk to one another like that hmm ... ClubLexus is definitely more mature than that kind of talk. But yes, I do understand what you are saying.

As far as failure goes...you wont get a dying transmission or a headgasket issue. Instead, you have a front lower balljoint issue that will break if they are old enough. Replace it anyways ($130/pair) despite the mileage.
