Rick,
I worked for Chevrolet Division of GMC when our coaches were first coming out. Alex Mair was head of Chev. Truck when I first started. I was a Field Service Rep.(same job as Jim K. had with Ford) so had first hand knowledge of vehicle problems at that time. It was so long ago and cars of all kinds are sooo much better now, it seems the auto industry was in it's infancy as far as quality and dependability goes. How time flies.
I now drive a Subaru outback with 160K. I have only done normal maintenance during that time (brakes, tires, etc.). I, like you have a miss when the engine is wet or damp. I know what it is, I just have not fixed it yet. It just need a set of ignition wires. As for your Subaru, it is time for a timing belt change. When you have it done, have the belt tensioner replaced and the water pump as well. Cheap insurance while you are in there. Replace the wires (can't believe what new wires cost!), your car will be good for another 100K. I will be in the market for a new car in the spring and honestly, I don't know what to get. Thinking a turbo Impreza, but there are so many cool vehicles to look at.
