Yeah, I was totally fine until year 7 - I think my temperature was rising. Now in year 8 it's an outright fever.
I took my car on 120 mile trip yesterday just to see if there was any valid excuse to get a new car. Only possible thing is I think my left front rotor has a small hot spot that causes a little shake when hard breaking at freeway speed - but to fix that would be just doing a brake job - which is like $300. I had the dealership check - my front breaks are still like 70% intact and they don't see any bad hotspots - they didn't recommend a brake job.
So 99% cheaper than a new car.
I should just get my car a deep detailing job and k.i.m.
