Reminds me of when I got my new VW Rabbit Diesel back in 1980. They made you 
bring the car back after about a month or 1000 miles for an oil change and 
retorquing the head bolts. Musta worked because ol' Hazel was still going strong 
after 17 years. If only the body hadn't rusted away....

I still miss that car.
