There are no ugly wookiees. There's only the least beautiful somewhere.

Oh well, I want it to last me 5 more years, and in the last 19 the only things I've done with the suspension is new shocks about 10 years ago. No more clunking when I hit a pothole!

I'm kinda doing the same thing with my son's 05 LL Bean Forester. I just put all new brakes and a new Walker Cat on it. The cheap Ebay cat kept throwing P0420. One of those sensor extensions didn't help. A few months ago, new front axles and then figured out that the creaking sound was a universal joint on the rear driveshaft. 2 years ago, we pulled the engine for head gaskets to fix oil and coolant leaks. Put in a timing belt kit and new spark plugs while the engine was out. Last week, The tensioner on the AC broke when I was fixing the squeaky belt. Fortunately I had one under the work bench that had just been sittin there for about 5 years.

Stiil much cheaper than car payments.

Back about 15-20 years ago while attending the Ducks Fly South Ducati rally, (when it was held in Georgia) I came up on an badly battered and rusted first gen Chevy Blazer S-10 that looked worse than that. All the side and rear windows were ripped plastic blowing in the breeze. The only glass was the windshield that was so badly cracked I can’t understand how the driver could see through it. It was loaded with plastic bags full of who knows what and the old guy driving it had very few hairs on his head and less teeth when he smiled at me as I passed him.

Daughter's rx300 blew out bank-1 primary cat. Should I start a 1mz rebuild thread?
