Who told u it needs to be rebuild after 40k?
It could go wrong at any moment!

 

maintenance is not a lot but the parts are expensive.
and it drinks gas like no tomorrow.
think twice.

 

I've saved so much retyping...

 

^ Lol ... figured you were on a roll today so I would steal some thunder

 

The OP has been directed to a Sticky for perspective owners. He should read this, then come back with some less general questions.

 

Perhaps with a more specific thread title as well.

 

Awwww, sh*t! I just hit 40k. Oh well, guess I'll break the news to the family that our summer vacation plans are off.

 

fixed

 

Dammit! I've only got 7k miles to go until my engine dies on me...lol
