Like, it can't go on forever...even the air suspension still works and is original.
I went through this myself with the Rangey, because I decided -- like an idiot -- to drive a newer one and was like "Wow, this is even more powerful and more comfortable and more bad-ass looking."

But then I took a step back and realized that September will be the first time in my adult life that I do not have a car payment. Why do I want to sign up for that again just to have a newer version of the thing I already have? Both my vehicles are now paid off, I thoroughly enjoy both of them, so if something breaks, just fix the thing. It can't be worth it to drop another $51k on something else, can it?
