Good point Benny. You can put 20k in your van and still break a 3-4 slider..

Where? You can put 25K$ on it and it may still break! new parts even break. But good PREVENTIVE maintenance is a big +. Hydro line (brake, clutch, line, master, slave, cylinder...), coolant system, a good engine will get you far. But that is like 20K$ of investment. So, what broke? How old are you if may ask? Where do you want to go? I travel a lot, far and hard. I also have that feeling sometime, in the middle of nowhere, at night, but only the first few days. After, i don't think about it. I'm such a liar :-) I did 2 Mexico trip, 1 in 03 with a shitty 73, bad engine, bad everything. Still, i nmade it home but it was stressful and not pleasant. http://www.benplace.com/baja_eng.htm (if you have nothing to... you will have a good laugh) The second one 2 years ago, with a... well, expensive Vanagon camper. I changed oil. This was my revenge to the 03 trip!!!! http://www.benplace.com/mexico2008.htm I did say the word Subaru once (oupss)!!! You see, i'm a good boy. |
