My car is turning out to be a disaster - need words of encouragement

[Frodo]

Hang in there. I got my 2001 in 2004 with 19k miles on the clock. Within the first 2 or 3 years I had to do an alternator, front wheel bearing, water pump (+ high temp thermostat). Also replaced a motor mount, and a handful of minor stuff. Knocking on wood as I say this, I've now got 93k miles and, other than standard maintenance items, I've had very few issues. I did go ahead and proactively have the clutch done so I could have the IMS issue taken care of--an item of lesser importance to you it sounds. Again, proactively, I had the AOS replaced at the same time because it was pretty much due.

I've got a 2007 Mazda and I feel like, in the few years I've had it, it's needed possibly more work than the Box.

thanks Frodo. I really love driving this car. I've owned a 911, a 928S and a 914 and this is my favorite Porsche hands down.
