Wooooooooooooooow what an extreme example of not doing maintenance!!!

I know my dad told me a long time ago they used to add kerosene to the oil to act as a thinner/cleaner and change after 500 miles when it was bad like that. I believe some people will also add trans fluid since it has detergents in it.

Regardless, that can't be good for the motor!

You should see cases motor. It's spotless. I was hoping hed see this thread. I don't know how that motor still ran. 60,000 miles without a oil change. Wow. I change mine every 3000 even though it doesn't need it. Walmart sells big jugs for cheap so I am not spending more than 15.00 bucks doing it myself. Some of the jiffy lubes here charge 25-30 dollars to do it...

Done. (period)

Yeah thats a real shame that, im not much into BMWs though, but if that was Mercedes Benz id be abit upset, and id be a screaming wreck if it was an AMG Mercedes Benz...

Thanks for thinking of me buddy ;)

For those that havent yet seen what my engine in the daily driven 94 looked like, here it is, these are at varying stages over about 4 or 5 years:

Here is a link to the VETTE magazine article too for those that never saw it before. The bloke that wrote the story, nice as he was, didnt really pay much attention to what information i gave him, so there is quite abit in there that he changed unfortunately....

I remember the article, Case, and you've always taken extremely good care of your car. For another beautiful example of a well cared for corvette, look at Mick's (MSeven) car.

That blue motor is soooo gorgeous. I have always admired your car case.

Will you come clean my car up like that for Christmas?

Cheers mate, i have always taken care of everything ive had to work for, and as your comments indicate, it really shows i was doing my job!! Thanks!!

Yeah mate thankyou too, it turned out very nicely and i was always happy with it, it seemed when it came to my Corvettes, people always loved what i did with them. The new owner of the 94 has called me a few times to thank me again for selling him the car and to tell me just how much he loves it, and im really VERY happy when i get a call like that, cause at the end of the day he is happy with the car, which means it has never let him down ( nor should it ) and im also very happy cause its gone to the kind of home that can appreciate the effort i put into it.

You blokes ( and you too Letty!! ) all know money cant buy pride in your efforts and your work.

Since i sold my 94 i dont think ill own another myself, and there is reasons for that, driving both mine almost every day for 11 years is one big reason, but my pride in the jobs ive done is still there. It always will be. I devoted a pretty decent chunk of my life to series 4 Corvettes!!

If it was here with me i could do quite alot with it for ya, especially with it being a high mileage car, and now that im a Mercedes Benz man i love nothing more than to see high milage!! Would you settle for a late christmas pressie?
