No, I want a car that can be serviced myself, in my own garage. For those rare jobs that are bigger than I can handle myself, I want to be able to choose from any trusted local mechanic, without them having to buy a specific manufacturer's proprietary tools.

That is why I will continue to maintain vehicles that were made before the turn of the century.
