I never keep vehicles long enough so that they need major repairs. The only thing I had to do to my current vehicle is change the front brake pads and the windshield wipers a couple times. I pay off my current vehicle in February, and will immediately head to the dealership to get something new and shiny. Not trying to be a snob, but I don't like to fuss with vehicles.

" I drive kinda recklessly, I take a lot of chances, I never repair my vehicles, and I don't believe in traffic laws."
