Obviously, I just found the image and wondered if its a joke like the kid who tried to port his intake with a bag of sand hooked to a vacuum line, or the guy who painted the rotor instead of the caliper...
it's a joke... or he didn't learn from the time he put the stop leak "head gasket in a can" in his oil instead of the radiator. Still not as good as the guy who wanted to know how to get rhino liner off of his hootus.
or the guy with the new toyota who was changing his engine oil, drained the transmission gear oil, and filled the motor with 5 quarts of fresh oil.... drove it for more than 1000 miles. It's one of those stories that if I hadn't personally known all the parties, and actually seen the car before and after, I'd never have believed it... but it's true.
hey i bought a dead civic to fix and sell from a guy i knew, it had around 180,000 miles. i did the head gasket then went to chage the oil and the plug felt like it was welded. i asked him when th elast time he changed the oil was, he laughed and said never. he bought it with 50,000 miles.

Actually he welded the wrong section of the diff. He's supposed to weld spider gears INSIDE the diff not the ring gear and pinion drive.

I used to run an auto rental fleet. We'd get printouts of the cars that needed service, but only for the cars that had been in our fleet for ~ 6 months. One of the cars that had been a vagabond between fleets turned out to have had one oil change in 47,000 miles, another 49,000 because the records just didn't follow the car fast enough.... 47k was a red 1990 Chev Cavalier, the other a silver Pontiac 6000.... the Cav finally died when someone took it 4 wheeling on the Rubicon - I had to go pull it out with my 1965 Land cruiser... ah the memories of the abuse.
