My experience has been the same. About the only think I think they really
worry about are the brakes, I've never had one with bad brakes. I've had
slipping clutches, sloppy steering, near-bald tires, worn out oil-burning

I thought that the extra wires in an 80 pin cable were ground wires,
which isolate the data wires from one another to allow higher transfer
