yeah - if i'm replacing anything in this new car because it has to be, rather than because I want to for peformance gains, aesthetics, etc - than by golly I'll replace the car!
On the other hand, if this were a 75k mileage car or a 5+ yr old car that required a new clutch and flywheel because of normal wear and tear, my stance would be a lil different. But, crap - 4000 miles on a car that's supposed to be better than the domestics and asian imports and already has a rattle and hum (not courtesy of U2) that makes me think, hmmm road trip this weekend - yeah, maybe we'll take the wife's subaru!!!!
