I'm Xtreme on this subject..

When I buy a new one, I look for a vehicle with less than 20mi. Then I changed the oil at ~750, ~1500, ~3000 and now at ~7000. So you see I'm on my fourth oil transfusion when the dealer would have me on the first!

Of course, I'll keep these cars long past the planned obselesence of FSS, estimated to be 5-7 years

"One should as a rule respect public opinion in so far as is necessary to
avoid starvation and to keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond
this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny, and is likely to
interfere with happiness in all kinds of ways."
