If it happens, it happens. I'll deal with it then. When I buy a new Porsche I may get proactive and put on a LNE bearing. But worry about it? Not a chance.
Driving my Boxster is as close as I've been to a high end motorcycle. I will happily buy another and wind it up til it screams. Just as it is meant to be driven. And I'll have a *hit eating grin on my face while I'm enjoying the ride!

Took the words right out of my mouth! I was a bit worried at first too.
I love the car I bought and have not regretted for one second (yet)!
When I go out for joyrides IMS/etc is the last thing on my mind..
IMSB time bomb?! He's just scared.
