When did you experience your first major problem?

Hey all. I was just wondering for my own personal benefit. If you can remember, when did your cars start giving you big problems? Regardless if it was modded up, bone stock, whatever.
Just curious

I started having problems around 113k mi. Granted me and a friend were in my car cruising for about 15mi or so without coming below 140mph. Yep...the motor went Before that the only thing that has really went wrong was the seals in the rear end were replaced. Now my baby is SHIP SHAPE....other than i wrecked it monday

Almost 60k on my car and never had a single problem I didn't induce (ie forgetting to tighten a coolant hose).

There should be an option for those of us that don't have problems.

My first major prob was @ 103k when a water seal blew but it already had 83k on it when I bought it and I did replace the rear main seal @ 85k just because I did not like it dripping in the garage.
