I've had mine for about 24 years and probably ~75k miles at this point, so I have a reasonably good idea what they're like to live with.

I can accept that. Coil might not be he best example though. When I had stock coils I could replace them in about 2 minutes on the N54. Not quite $40 cheap, but not exactly a hard job. Still, message received.
