The funny thing is, you're taking your chances and gambling regardless of what you drive. I find a modicum of comfort in the fact that when I open the bonnet on my VW I will look down and am greeted with, regardless of if they're all working or not, a collection of systems I can clearly understand and manipulate. I've owned a 2001 Eurovan Weekender. When you popped the hood on that baby your eyes would fall on yet another hood. One could add washer fluid and check the level on the power steering fluid, but not much else. That machine wasn't really mine yet it was equally risky to run. Machines fail, that's just how things work. It's our attitude regarding those machines that ultimately make the most difference when we consider their utility. Highly recommend this book: HTH, MT
