If I could have a magical 914 that I can drive for ever and ever, and never have to fix it, I'd be a happy Jenny. Not to have to worry about what new noises it's making, and whether that sound is just because the car's 30 years old, or because there's something seriously wrong with it.
On the other hand, if the car never needed fixing, the thrill of it running smoothly wouldn't be as exciting. Of course, it would help if I stopped running my car into stuff...
