Seconded. Better yet, cast iron _anything_. I've been cooking almost exclusively on LODGE Cast Iron products for the past year and won't go back to tri-ply/aluminum pans.

I'm currently DD'ing a 2000 Toyota Avalon XLS (yes, the S matters) w/ nearly 158K on the odometer. The car has been pretty rock solid, gets around 28 mpg per tank (once a week commute between Washington DC & Richmond, VA) and is very comfortable. I've had it since 83K and have since replaced all four of the struts

Seconded on this.  On the downside, when you're replacing your struts with a quick strut, you are replacing *everything*.  No re-use of the strut boots or springs (of course, that may be a good thing).
