Hell yeah. I put 20k extremely vicious miles on my last car (89 Conquest TSi - not remotely stock) with Zero problems what-so-ever. Took it to 7500rpm on a daily basis.
It all depends on maintenance. If you can't do it. Walk... You don't deserve a car. Sheesh... some people... :rolleyes:
I wish it were that simple. You can't maintain your car, you can't own one... Make driving a whole lot better...
Yes taking it to a shop would qualify as maintaining it before all those folks get bent out of shape... It's the people that add oil when the light comes on or the rattle/noise gets loud.. Crap like that...
I see them all the time. "errr. My car stopped running because I drove with the heat gauge maxed out. It's only happened 3 times today. Is that bad? Should I add some water - it was empty when I looked"
"And should the dipstick be dry when you pull it out?"
Congratulations sir, you just created a 300lb paper weight...
