    LOL, I would hate to see my father inlaws VR Wagon then. Never changes anything, its a work car and it gets trashed as he lays silicon, he only tops oil up, prolly done at least 100,000 with out a service, thing that gets me is that it still runs perfectly lol. even idles perfectly. has about 360,000 on it.

    Hahaha,

    Kiddies, this is what happens when your wallet far out-weighs your common sense...

    Or...

    When you buy a car, and can't afford the maintenance/upkeep of said vehicle.

    Or...

    You're just a Douche...




    LMAO, unfortunately this isn't the first time I've heard/seen something like this happening either...

    I agree ith you on that... in part,

    They also need a slap accross the back of the head, because when the motor's develop a knock or start showing signs of the wear and tear, they'll flog it off and 'buy a new one' and then some poor suckers gotta pay for their stupidness...

    My old VL that i sold to my sister never had an oil change (when she had it). Was about 6 years ago, and up until a year ago it still hasn't been changed. Not sure if its still going now lol

    Pulled the intake off my injected motor the other day and it seems the previous owner didn't give it to many oil changes. Could be worse I suppose. Didn't pay much for it tho, pretty much nothing since I stripped out the car and sold everything off, and that alone made me more then wat I payed for the car.

    Using the heads on a carby 308. Nothing an acid bathe won't fix.
