It needed $6k in warranty work in 30k miles, equal to 20 of my current Sentras, not including the purchase price which would be 33 more Sentras.

OP can also write off $20k a year on his taxes.

They seem to do alright. That isn't often I take trips, it is mostly for my small commutes and transporting my dog. But before whatever gear I have and my roommate, that is 300+ pounds...with her, it is almost 500...if it is my buddy, then approaching 600. I think he's losing weight doing cross fit instead of powerlifting, while me powerlifting and (attempting) expanding into strongman, I am gaining weight lol. I didn't realize how much I put these little guys through!
