The odds are highly in favour of your car being perfectly fime until it dies of old age.


Oh and it is "BLEW UP" or "BLOWN UP" Not "blowed up"

I'm too lazy to get into the details of my argument but the recently-cited five-thousand-mile failure window falls right in line with my expectations. Unless Subaru decides to shut the window on the recall some time in the future, I plan on kicking back and watching how the drama plays out.
