So buy something that excites you and I disagree, I have not had to give my '91 Camper that much attention that I would consider it excessive at all. Unless you consider washing it frequently 'excessive attention'. It's true that the heads eventually need new gaskets, but that's not a frequent task. I change the oil every 2,500 miles and every 30K do the tune-up thing. At 108K miles, I'm still waiting for my first head gasket leak. I drive mine daily and don't really understand why you say they 'all' need alot of attention? I'm not trying get your or anyone elses dander up here, I just don't understand your two comments.
