[QUOTE="efnfast, post: 16639965, member: 104733"] I basically havn't put any money into it in 15yrs .... dead-nuts reliable .... I drive it even when it's -50*C and snow up to your knees. I'm a detailing snob so from 10ft away it looks 10/10 (also because it's silver) ... then you get close and you see the hood rock chips (meh, whatever) and the bubbling paint on the rear quarters (99% of the population wouldn't even mind it since I get the bodyshop to fix it before it gets too out of hand, but the underside metal is pretty bad apparently) As you can tell I'm not a picture-taking snob, lol, best I have on hand [ATTACH=full]1711196[/ATTACH]vpr2 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/156814399@N04/]Alex M[/url], on Flickr occasional on-ramp pulls but other than that I don't push it hard. if I sold I'd buy another 04 but then I could be walking into who-knows-what mechanically (it is a 16yr old car that most people are going to beat on after all) but when I see panel replacement requires cutting and welding I just wonder if that's going to open up a can of worms (I've got a good bodyshop I use, but it's not exactly minor surgery).
