We're capable of making machines that can fly to the moon and back multiple times, undergoing conditions that make ANYTHING a car goes through seem like a walk in the park.

Do you honestly think they can't make a car that won't last longer than any human will live?

If you think Mr. P.'s philosophy is any different than the outlook any car maker has had in the last 50 years you need to wake up. Just as doctors and drug dealers know, the money is in the treatment, not the cure.

If you could pay $100,000 USD for a car that was guaranteed to last as long as you live, half the cars on the road would be that machine -- regardless of mileage or looks. Problem with car dealers is that the average person spends more than $100k on vehicles in their life, so there's no incentive to make something so reliable.

I know jack about cars. But I can fix things. Cars happen to be things.
