I think you'll find that any engine will die a quick death if you deprive it of oil.

yeah no kidding, My parents use to have a Ford Topaz or Temp... whatever it was it was a crap car! Anyway it had just been serviced a few days before I was driving it to Hamilton Ontario. About 40 min into the drive the car started to make a clanking sound and was running really rough. I kept on going until I came to a gas station with a service center. The guys heard the car and they were puzzled at first. I told them it was just serviced and that it should be fine. We took a look under the hood and took out the dip stick and found there was no oil in it. It took almost 5 bottles (to the best of my memory) to top it up. I went to the place I originally had it service at and when they looked at their records they did an oil change but forgot to put oil in it after they drained it. Needless to say the car did not sound the same ever again and died a short time later... We had a funeral for the 14 year old ugly crap car... it was sad... NOT!

Man, you should've sued the service place for damages or gotten your money back. That's just low as man. At least you had an excuse to get a new car!

Cheers,
Mick

Bare bones is the only way to go. No useless stuff like ABS, automatic butt warmers, power everything, etc.

I think your right! My parents go new cars and they have had a lot of problems with the so called "convenience items" Like for example. When you put the car in park and take the key out the door does not automatically unlock like it use too... It's funny because back in the 70's computers and all of these things were supposed to make our lives easier. Instead people have less time then ever before. Like on the news during Christmas there was this lady who started up her own business to buy presents for people who could not do their own shopping because they were too busy!?!? How dumb is that!

I think ABS is useless anyway all you have to do is not panic and thresh hold break and you'll stop in time. If you try slamming on the breaks you'll end up in someone’s trunk for sure.
