the grill

[David Eaton]

i fail to see your difficulty with this?  if you expect a
6-year old car to not require more expensive maintainence
than a younger car then you need to re-think.  everything
has a design life, and mechanical components all wear.  the
longer you own/use a car, the more likely that you will
experience a failure.

you cover this by upgrading to a newer car, you take a
warranty, or hope for the best.
