SHTF Vehicles (Help me find a truck) | Page 13 | Emergency Preparedness | Forums

I have always heard this as well, engines and vehicles break in and adjust to the way they are treated, once you take them out of that comfort zone, that's when you have problems. Quick example, my grandmother had a ford tempo and she worked in town which was 6 miles away. Everyday she got in her car and drove 6 miles to work at 35 miles per hour and then drove home 35 miles per hour. She had only about 24,000 miles after owning it 5 years. My aunt got sick and had to go to boston for treatment so my aunt and uncle borrowed my grandmothers car since it had low mileage and theirs was having issues. Got on the interstate driving 65 and after 4 hours blew up the engine. Coincidence? maybe
