*knock on wood* so far, the car has 105k miles and is 12 years old.

it has never actually left me stranded on the side of the road. it's always made it "somewhere" that i can repair or replace a broken part. most were at home.

the alternator failed on the way from nowhere texas to nothing texas on the highway, but the car kept going to a small town with a parts store. the water pump started failing in nebraska, but made it to denver without a complete failure. ignition switch had issues for a while before i finally replaced it. those were the closest to stranded. cracked coolant tank was replaced at home.
