I never really have had too much issue, but it might because I'm realistic to the cars age and miles. Sure lil things break here and there like door locks, blow a radiator hose, etcc., but nothing that either can't be fixed quickly or can wait till the weekend. Over the course of a year or whateva I slowly transform the car back into a reliable daily driver with more hp than if I had buoght myself a couple year old cheapy car like a Kia or Honda etcc.., Hence I personally get more out of it in the end.
The bottom line is owning any car that is over 10 years old and usually 100,000 or more miles is a labor of love. 5-6 years ago I use to see tons of 87-93 5.0's now I only see a couple on the streets and more SN-95's(there is a reason). If you can't take it as a labor of love than you should probably go buy a few year old low mileage Honda/Hyundai/Kia or something. I'm not saying this to be mean or discourage you from the hobby and cars I love. I understand there can be major frustration but it's just part of the game.

Thx. I was really frustrated last night. Today I have a clear head and can be more logical about it.
