My Celica is 6 years old, and has NEVER had a failure.
Can you say that about any LBC you have?

This point is always made by OFs but just doesn't really
pan out in numbers.
Things that fail on new cars are usually no more "catastrophic"
than old cars.
Frankly, most people who spread these mistruths have "hit the wall
of learning" and won't even open their minds for an afternoon to
learn about electronic ignition, fuel injection, and other
niceties.
