Right now, I'm falling under the poor category. With the oil pressure gauge line melting through due to the downpipe coming un-bolted, and one of the heater hoses cracking and springing a leak, it's just funny little things that are a pain in the ass.
On the whole though, my car has been pretty damn reliable.
