It's not falling apart because you used it like a truck. It's
falling apart because the corporation that built it could give two
****z about quality and durability. That is why they are where they
are.

We have two trucks, a F-150 and a Lincoln Navigator. The Navigator
developed a leaking valve guide at 175k. We figured it was the opening
shot in a campaign to get all my dough, what with 31more valves, four
cams. And so on, and on. So we put in a new motor. A thousand miles
later the starter went out. Five hundred bucks! Figures.
