Hello, Retroman.

Glad to read about how tough your Boxster is.

I'm a bit surprised your Japanese truck crapped out, but not at all surprised about the Jeeps. My sister just got rid of hers after spending way too much money trying to keep it on the road. Same story with my wife's brother's Jeep. My neighbor's 1980-something Jeep went out of service a month ago. Instead of dumping it, he bought a new Wrangler for $44K while he figures out how to fix the old one. Many people love those things. Why, I don't know. Our family has been using and abusing a Toyota Sienna AWD for 11 years without a single problem. It's not as capable as a Jeep, but reliability is worth more than entry and departure angles to me.

Cheers,

Dave
