or
How much longer can I drive before the wheel falls off?

Why do I think that's closer to the truth than not???
I could only add people who hammer on about DI very authoritatively but have no knowledge, interest, or experience with them and will let the "early adopters" buy one even if that early adoption is a decade old and DI is 50% of the new car market. More parts curmudgeon than reality.

I need each component to be listed to within 1% accuracy, please.
