Trying to get the mrs to understand that servicing a modern DPF diesel engine, plus tyres and brakes on a big SUV is gonna be bloody expensive (and given its "my" car cost ME), meanwhile I can replace her whole engine for 20 bucks and run the thing off the smell of an oily rag. Meanwhile the SUV has copped 10k km and shitbox hasn't hit 2k km.

I shouldnt call it a shitbox, its such a fun little car to drive I love that thing to death.
