Never change your oil? You get what you deserve

So is skydiving.

 

My old '76 Coronet burned a quart between gas fillups. I don't think I ever
"changed the oil" in the traditional way the whole time I had the car.

Reminds me of another old bomb I had, an old '60 Valiant. Make a
hard right turn, and if you smelled gas, you had some left (never
could put in more then 5 or 6 gallons at a time)! Not sure what was
worse with that one, the hole in the tank, or the brakes that needed
to be pumped a dozen times before I could slow down......

Or a plugged passage. All it takes is one to make a mess out of a
bearing, which ...

Worse car for oil consumption for me was a $50 Torino that achieved a
whoppin' 50 miles per quart. Then came a '76 Civic that average between
1-2K per quart. Of course, that car cost me $500!

The old Rambler I had I got for $75. It was a combination of puke
green and primer.

....and the saga continues; One day I decided to manipulate the vacuum
lines and confident that I had improved things set off for work. On the
way, I noticed a nice plume of smoke in the rear view mirror.

Later that night, I fired it up for the return trip home and I had gone
no farther than a half mile or so when the oil light came on. I managed
to drive that turd all the way home with no apparant ill effect(s).

The next day, dipstick showed nothing/nada/zilch. Put some pit oil (from
changes in my Studebakers) in and brought it up to level and got another
month out of it when I sent it up to the local wrecking yard.

I only wish that I had tapped into my ample supply of pit oil much
earlier...

I replaced the turdbox Torino with a $300 Gremlin which actually wasn't
a bad car. Had the 258 six cylinder with two barrel and it went down
the road nicely. Rest was the main issue with that car..

Sky diving and scuba diving have something very important in common.

When you suddenly run out of air, the fun stops.

Yeah, but a well trained SCUBA diver has options...
