Taking this to the limit, if you have an older BMW, it will cost more than a new one to keep it going. If you have some skills and go aftermarket for parts, it costs the same as a normal car to keep running. I have learned NOT to buy any car without a thriving aftermarket for parts. You do have to avoid Pacific Rim imitation parts, but I have bought many BMW and Honda parts with, as the OP noted, the company brand dremeled off.....for half or less price.

The reason passwords suck is: This one wants eight characters, with a symbol and letter This one wants eight characters, with NO symbols, and a letter This one wants upper and lower case letters This one wants upper and lower case with a symbol and number This one want upper and lower with no symbols. The formats change all the time, so it is no wonder that most people end up with a post it note stuck to the computer, or if stealthy, inside the draw.

Teens in House. All Content comes from the web. Very occasionally, a "glee" or "Dr Who" comes up, and they get away from the computer and sit in front of the big screen. 99% of the time they are in front of the big screen, it is Netflix streaming the content, and occasionally a less formal streaming service. Appointment TV....zero. This is why I can't watch the evening news without seeing horrible drug ads (or ads for horrible drugs-but I appear to get a beach house if I take that drug) The kids have left the building. The only time they really use my home theater is for a movie with surround sound.

Knowing someone who made good health choices, but had congestive heart failure anyway, and is now alive due to an LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device), I'd say that you don't have any clue about the real world. Yes, some folks drink or smoke themselves sick, but guess what ? Parts fail. We'll just leave you by the side of the ER when yours do...
