Alright, time for you guys with your MB's to make me feel a lil better about my acura. For what its worth, i currently drive a 96 Integra special edition with 130k. In the past two years i have replaced: Clutch hydrolics, clutch itself, flywheel, axles, lower ball joints, a/c blower, starter cut relay, rebuilt the starter, radiator, condensor fan, a/c evaporator, new tires for the 3rd time(stupid rim size only making high performance summer tires or snow tires, 195/55/15), new pads all the way around, spark plugs, battery(twice, but my own stupid fault, dont buy wallmart batteries) and the rotor cap. I think thats all, but i'm sure i forgot some stuff. What got me thinking is when i organized my files the other day, i had over 3500 in maintenance receipts alone for the past 3.5 years of ownership, and i do 99% of labor myself!!! Granted, i put the same into my old benz in 2 years, maybe more, but that car was 20 years old!! I suppose the saying is true, you either make payments or repairs....OH well, as long as i'm not making payments AND repairs i suppose i'm happy.... ON the plus side, even when the clutch hydrolics and clutch itself went out, the car has NEVER left me totally stranded, which is much more than i can say for my old 300SD.... So, someone share their 15k in one year repair bills with me and i will feel much better....thanks guys
Ryan
