Just keep a little repair fund aside. Most don't have any problems, but some such as myself have quite a few. I bought my '02S two years ago with 45k miles and I've put somewhere between $7k-$9k in...

I haven't been stranded yet, but I chalk that up to luck. I bought my '02S 2.5yrs ago and I'm 10K into in repairs. Started with the clutch and flywheel, which was some what expected when I bought it....

It's all relative to what suits you and what else you do with your money. For many leasing is just a way to own more car than they can afford, but there are other options as well. In Toronto a new...

I've been meaning to buy a good pair of driving shoes for awhile now, but I'm afraid of buying online without fitting them. I need to find a local store that has a selection.

Yeah, I don't know. Sometimes even pushing the clutch in doesn't eliminate the noise. It can be embarrassing at times when people are drooling over your car and then they hear it rattling like an old...
