I drove the 88 cherokee for over 10 years putting over 400,000 miles on it. IE I worked the living hell out of it.

Compare that with the almost NO MILES comparitively that I put on the clubwagon and voyager

compare that with my mom driving the lumina putting normal average miles on it

compare that with my 88 wagoneer that I don't think I put 5,000 miles on it TOTAL before yanking its engine for my 88 cherokee.

Just does not jive.

as for gravity sure poor example but "YOU GET" the idea. We really don't know why or how gravity works ie the actual MECHANISM of its function.

We suspect and evidence seems to support its related to matter and mass. ALSO we know a bit more about it today than we did even 100 years ago.

Point is its easy to say it could just be your cars it could just be a coincidence but at SOME POINT it goes beyond coincidence or just my cars.
