I love the stock. However, I've taken to looking up YouTube videos and fixing my Ford Escape 2004. I work from home and don't burn a lot of gas. It's got about 100k miles and with decent maintenance the baby should be good for another 100k miles.
Though intimidating at first, at the end of the day there is the satisfaction of figuring out how fuel pumps and ignition coils work. I wouldn't recommend any painting in your garage though!
If I buy another car, its going to be a Tesla - not used. I'm generating more electricity and donating it to the power company for pennies on the dollar. Until true Autopilot, backup sensors and a rear view camera are good enough.
