Car has to be usable on a daily basis without fear of a 3 digit bill every time you leave the garage.
Like I said, I guess I have just been very lucky over the past 18 years of driving in the Chicagoland and Washington D.C. metro areas.

I dodge potholes to an extreme and I switch to dedicated winters on 18s during the worst months.

Knock on wood, I hope my good fortune continues...
