The chance that mine will fail this year is very low. And if it does, I'll do what I've done on 5 other cars over the last 50 years when their engines failed, replace the car or the engine. Compared to other things in life, this isn't.
I don't spend my last dollar on a car when I buy one (the last 2 Porsche's I've owned I've been the third owner and they have been at least 5 years old when I bought them) and I don't expect perfection from Porsche (my first-owner 914 taught me that all too well...probably 2 dozen dealer visits in 2 years!).
(I'm also a measured-over-a-lifetime winner at the casinos.)
