Bought my Pathy new in 94, been wheeling it since and sure haven't babied it in any way other than regular maintenance. Been underwater twice, rolled and 4 different times been hit on the road by someone doing something stupid while driving. Have to say this has been the best and most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Just hit 320K miles and I'd trust it to get me anywhere. You keep the oil changed and keep the engine/tranny cool, you'll find they'll run forever!
