The water pump disengrated on the highway, causing the car to severely over-heat. I had to replace both of the aluminum (junk) heads, the water pump, and various other minor parts; +$2,000 for the repair. I'm on my 3rd A/C compressor; a +$600 repair each time. The power steering pump is going bad; don't know what that will cost. The tensor pulley is going bad; that's a cheap thing to fix I can do myself.

All that, and it has less than 90,000 miles. It's a combination of poor design and sub-standard parts, IMO.

	For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.
