It appears the time has come for me. I always knew it was inevitable. With 170K miles and dwindling fuel economy, I am giving up on her. As of now I will be searching for a 4th gen TA, and will be either selling or trading this one in. She lasted for 6 years and is still running fine, mind you. But with my new job I have to drive around 30 miles to work, and I need the increased reliability and mpg, as well as a working AC lol.
