All the maintenance in the world can't stop every potentail breakdown.The 4 leaf clover is insurance, so is the extra couple of bucks with state farm for towing. This 6 month premium is $124. My garage has 21 vehicles recorded, kept the Fiesta for 2.5 years, probably a record for me.

Maybe I'll wear the tires off the Sentra, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it. 2600 miles, almost time for an oil change. I already have the Mobil 1 (wally world $22.66 for 5 quarts). The cruise control is a little whacky, maybe I can get lucky and resolder the pins on the printed circuit board and get it to work the way it's supposed to work.

Upper grille block in place, left over pipe insulation from the Fiesta, so no additional cost.

It' amazes me how long it took for the little nibs to wear off the tires. Fronts held out for 500 miles, rears still hanging in there, at least most of them.

Not a drop of any fluid on the garage floor.
