Although it has not happened to me....

Sometimes cost is not a factor as you own the car because of what it is... I updated my IMS and many other parts as I want to keep the car for what it represents to me. If it blows an engine, I will ship it off to Jake or Renegade and continue on enjoying it. For some folks the car is just that a car and the cost of an engine vs. replacing the car is not justifiable. No biggie as it just means more parts for the rest of us!
