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.

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.
