George, you worry too much.(grin) Look out that huge panoramic windshield,
watch the scenery go by. If there is sinister stuff happening under the
hatch, it will either get worse or not. If it gets worse, then deal with
it. A Manny Transmission will cost you the same $$$ with a small bit of
trouble as it will for a lot of it. A LOP switch that malfunctions will
leave you beside the road same as a failed engine or transmission will. It
is just one more link in the failure chain.
