(1,414 posts)Ive owned 12 cars in my lifetime. Ten of them were used cars mainly because I was in the AF and I usually stayed only two or three years so I bought used cars. I was stationed in Sacramento in the late 90s and the car I was driving was totaled so I bought a used '96 Chrysler LHS. I learned it was originally owned by the state legislature as part of their fleet of cars so I figured it was well taken care of. The car ran well for a couple of years until I drove to my new base in Florida. As I pulled into a K-Mart parking lot in Sidell, Louisiana, something in the steering wheel gear box broke and the steering wheel just spun without turning the wheels. I got that fixed and the car ran well for three more years. After that, the head gasket went out three times after I returned to California. I finally traded the car in for a 2007 Honda CR-V which has turned out to be the best car I ever owned.
