I spun my '03 Camry up to 218k miles with a goal of 300k.
Last Thursday, it decided its starter had no more starts to give. Was I in my driveway? Nope. Was I in front of a repair facility? Nope. I was in a strange town about 40 miles away after the shops (but fortunately, not Enterprise) closed for the day. One ride on a flatbed, a $485 bill and 4 days later, the ungrateful mechanical wench is back in my possession..... but not for long.
I am unforgiving when it come to unreliability..... even once! By Saturday noon, I had inked a contract to purchase a '15 Corolla with 15k miles. CARFAX promised me it had been driven by a little old lady retired school teacher who only drove it to church on Sunday!
Take that, Camry! [kicks it to the curb]
