depending on your definition of reliable... if its the same thing going wrong all the time and you know how to fix it, is it really that much different than regular maintenance? its just a shorter timespan. think of 4th gen header installs before locking header bolts. for the first 150 miles after install, you would/should check the header bolts to make sure they didn't back out. technically, they arent reliable if they keep backing out, but you wouldn't look at it that way.
I agree completely.. hence why my car is significantly more expensive than yours....

I don't want to have to put air in my tires as often as I turn the key to go for a ride.
