Hey jim, long time no talk.  I have to say that the UrQ is just fine as a 
daily driver.  In my experience so far, it doesnt necessarily break down 
more, just that when it does, its a little more expensive to fix.  
anyway, i drive mine 70 miles a day to and from work, and more than that 
on the weekends.  so far all i have had to fix on the car was...lets 
see...one hose on the coolant system....and i think thats it so 
far....some things that i bought the car with had to be changed ,and i 
dont count the engine swap, but so far, its been great...


This also includes a long day of hard driving at thunderhill in january 
as well...lots of time on the track, and no failure due to that...not 
bad....
knock on alot of wood of course...



later...
