Becoz I got a crappy car with no remote, advanced systems inside and it's been hurting my back.

I thought it was coz of my workout. But my friend and I had this enlightening conversation and he said how corolla's are designed so tiny that back ache is no surprise if driven for an hour

Sorry to offend.
My brother got this cool pre-owned Chevy malibu that was just under 10,000 miles and it's been giving him a series of issues that he is frustrated.

On the other hand, I've been driving my car since 65,000 miles and the only serious thing I did was changing my tires once

Well, if they don't have to do the bypass, then I'd say not to worry much. They do stents in their sleep these days. (My dad's been in for them 3 times!) But if it goes to a bypass, well that is pretty major surgery. I hope everything goes well for him!

I'm a toyota loyalist. I really like the VW, but I wonder if making the transition would make the trade-in more expensive coz we're talking different car makers and I'm a car dunce.
Shoot my last car was a Toyota, and she kept going up to 234,000 miles. My current car has 190,000...so she's got a ways to go yet.

Yepper. Definitely a chicorea. Not for a manly man such as yourself. LOL Sorry - now I'm cracking myself up thinking about that Old Spice commercial.

Yey, that gives me hope! Mine is still a toddler then.

I heard of a woman who took her Lexus to a mechanic for a check-up and the guys laughed and pretty much told her that the kinks just got worked out and now its real lifetime starts! I don't care about the current bad rep. I'll buy a Toyota again.

A Celica. Bought her brand new, a 5 speed. Awesome car. Really, if you get a good reliable model, and do the recommended maintenance, they will last 200,000 miles, easy.

I'm with you. I'd definitely buy another one.
