3. You learn how to fix it yourself, and fix it right......... it wolnt cost you thousands and if it breaks again you'll know how to fix it.

Now you go buy crap or have someone do it for you and 90% of the time your back at no better than #2

If you buy a performance car and are scared to break it, you should just buy a Prius with an extended warranty and save yourself a ton of cash.

I agree with a good amount of what you said...however,

1. Yes it can, thats why I prefer to wait and let a new car prove its reliability, and thats exactly what the warranty is for.

2. I worked at Palmetto Ford...I know who the good techs are, and the not so good, so I'm covered on who I can trust

3. I've learned quite a bit over the years, and I havent needed anybody to repair anything for me..I've had help from friends...but except for getting and ABS and Airbag code read...I try to do it myself, but there is a point where im S.O.L., like an engine/tranny build

4. Prius are no fun, a Fusion bored the crap out of me once the cobra was gone...so thats a no go
