Well, you wouldn't buy a 10 year old used laptop, but I drive my second 06 Forester, almost 20 years old.

But for a new car, fucked.

IBM thinkpads and Linux bros disagree.

My Thinkpad collection scoffs at your presumptions.

RIP your head gasket

I miss our Forester

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

First one rusted out around 210k, never had gasket trouble. This one's been burning a quart of oil every 500 miles since I got it at 105k. I just keep it topped off.

Haha I gota new head gasket in 2021. It was a $2K job. Still cheaper than getting a new car.
