Anyone else get the latest email from Blackstone Labs? See the article about the dude with the truck that didn't change his oil in 122,000 miles?! Says, changing oil is for suckers...

The shocking part was, his oil wasn't bad! Even after 122K miles!

Theres the story of the old farmer that was training his horse not to eat, and he almost had it trained, but guess what happened, it died of starvation. How many more miles would tthe car last if it had been maintained?
