Nearly anything can be made to last nearly forever. I know a guy who
has been driving the same VW beetle for fifty years. He is a pilot who
lives more than fifty miles from the Des Moines airport. How many
miles, I don't know.

Those of us who have escaped being debt slaves also know that cars hardly
ever have their wheels fall off. My "new" car is a 1983 300TD Benz
wagon...(c;

Had a SAAB once, the wheels almost fell off; the uni-body where the
trailing arms mounted rotted completely away, made for a real
entertaining ride! I guess the folks in Sweden didn't realize that
Canadians sprinkle copious amounts of salt on our roads in the winter.
