This could has maybe... 20 miles on it... since i started having this stupid issue. the old coil got about 400 miles last year with me driving it. But I agree, I try to replace things before breaking or when broken... Just right now I can't spent monies on the car because it went all to my exams... which sucks. The purple car is way more fun to spend money on than a couple of tests and licenses. I mean 5k could buy a bad *** stroker kit... that still would die after idling for 15-20 minutes... but at least I could say I had a stroker haha.
