" I have always wondered at the "return on investment" angle on the

" totally worthwhile. The downside is heavy cars (an Accord weights more than
" my Classic Wagon!), complexity, cost. Surprisingly, reliability is not an
" issue, cars come with 6-digit odometers and don't drop dead at 100K.

it helps a lot that there's a federal law requiring tuneups to be good
for 100k, for emissions reasons.  that implies a lot of things.

[it burns me that gm started advertising how good their cars were as
if it was purely their idea to make their cars run 100k without
needing tuneups]
