i put 10,000 mostly city miles on my mav in the 10 months i owned her. but NOTHING worked properly mechanically speaking, so how many points do i take off? ;-) BTW, on my trip back from chicago when my tranny seal blew, does the stranded part count if i was only stranded long enough to add 1 1/2 quarts of tranny fluid to keep 3rd gear engaged? ;-)
i give my mav a 666! =-)
: Give you rself one point for each mile you drive a day.
: Take away 5 points for each time the car as left you stuck or calling AAA.
: Take away 2 points for anything that does not work properly mechanicaly speaking.
: Give yourself 2 points if you have things like working AC and a defogger. Non popular options.
: 78 miles a day - 4 mechanicle points. (Need to fix a leaky wheel cylander and the heater fan went out.)
: that gives me a 74. pretty decent I think. She hasn't left me on the side of the road since I have owned her. 4 years.
