    Dude. I just want to say if you’re telling the truth about one breakdown in 20+ years that is mind boggling. In my 13 years of driving I have broken down in ICE vehicles countless times! Overheating, multiple dead alternators (twice in my truck, once in my wife’s car), snapped serpentine belt, exploded clutch. I’m sure I can think of more, I just find it hard to believe it’s once in 20+ years unless you’ve lived a very nice life with nothing but new cars.

      Stop buying fords and buy Toyotas or other Japanese cars except Nissans. But even the Nissans can still drive in limp mode when the transmission fails. Only a few issues will disable a car. I’ve been a car that had the turbo stopped spooljng on a trip to Vegas but it just cut bunch of the power but was still drivable.
