Today, Todd's '06 P71 had its first non-owner-caused repair... at 103,076 miles. The sick part was the water pump. The only other repair the car has had during current ownership was the wiper motor, which Todd broke, then fixed, himself.
Oh, and one blown tail light bulb.
So, that means he has gone about 90,000 miles without any problems.

1950s Parking Technology!
OK, the car is a Cadillac, but I couldn't help but share this 1950s take on parking technology!

UPDATE: Name That Tune-up...
The other day Vic got a tune up. It was overdue for an oil change, but was also acting strange at low speeds. The transmission slammed into gear twice as well. So I decided to get the spark plugs replaced and change the transmission fluid & filter. So far, everything seems better. Taxi Guy tried to grease up the front end a bit, but I don't think anything short of replacing everything will ever make it quiet again. He also said the intake seems to still be leaking a bit by the #4 cylinder. So we have to keep keeping an eye on that little issue.
We had snow here in MA last week... before Halloween! People were without power for days because the trees still had leaves on them, allowing snow to accumulate and put too much weight on limbs. I am starting to wonder if I should get my snow tires on ASAP!
