How old is the car you drive and what maintenance do you need

Is your time worth anything? Can you afford to be late for work when it inevitably breaks down one morning and you have to wait for AAA on the side of the road for a couple hours?

Nothing needed at the moment. I thought one of my wheel bearings was about to go, as there was a crunching noise that followed the wheel speed when I turned right at low speeds. Looked over the brakes and whatnot to make sure the noise couldn't come from that, found nothing and figured it could only be the bearing. Switched from the mud terrains on 15's to my all-terrains on 16's and the noise went away... no fucking clue what it could be

Cars don't just break down, right? They give you some warning of a problem don't they?

Sometimes they do sometimes they don't. I lost my clutch on the highway in stop and go traffic during a rain storm one morning and almost missed an exam

Not always, depends entirely on what it is.
Some things do wear out over time and will feel different, but its usually at such a slow rate that you hardly ever notice until it all goes wrong, like >>17679477 said about clutches

With modern cars you'll often have safety features that'll kill your engine when it detects that something goes wrong, in an attempt to limit the damage that can be caused. Stuff like the oil pump, injection system, crank positioning sensor and whatnot are things that'll go from 100% functionality to 100% dead in a split second, and can be caused by anything from complete mechanical malfunction (busted seals, cracked injection jets and such) to something like one of the small sensors getting a small water droplet and going mental

I drive a 1992 Cadillac DeVille.

Not all cars are created equal. You could have a sedan from 2004 that is vastly more unreliable than a car from 1987.

That being said, trucks are generally more reliable than cars are. Plus, they are far easier to work on.

I swear I seen you in a Cadillac Owners Group on Facebook

>>17680154
So what kind of issues and maintanenece have you done on it since you bought it?

>>17680418
Don't have a Facebook, bub.

Too fucking many. Cadillacs are a nightmare for maintenance. If you're going to get an old boat, get a Ford.
