So what's the point to your story? Just because yours hasn't failed doesn't mean anything to anyone else. It's not an issue until it is. That's a fact. Stating that I've made it x miles without a failure means nothing.

Thank you all for the feedback, I realized I was exaggerating the possibility of a failure. If I get one out of state, I'll probably end up driving it home. In any case, I'm planning on doing the IMS myself when I get it back.

There you go. That's how you have to look at theses or any other used car. They have their flaws and it is so easy to fall under the 'Sky is falling' spell.
I certainly can claim no immunity to it. I'll turn down my stereo while driving the hwy on and off to hear if my motor is chewing itself up - Not that there is anything I could do
