I *hate* being stranded, but I admid that I also love upgrading broken parts. So far I've stayed ahead of the breakdown curve by pre-replacing all the stuff that commonly fails.
-aftermarket clutch slave. (did the master at same time just to be sure)
-pulled steering lock fuse first thing
-upgraded clutch and flywheel my 25k used clutch seemed burnt when I bought the car.
-have oil cooler on order
-thinking of upgrading the rear diff to something more bulletproof.

so far no breakdowns, but you are right, it takes a little getting used to a car that tends to break more than a DD.

I always tell myself mechanical failures are a good chance to upgrade weak systems...
otherwise maybe I'd be driving a camery or something.
