Atleast it wasn't self induced....... before I knew anything about cars I had an american car that was a few years old, had a trade in value of 17,000 and as opposed to getting the oil changed, I opted for dumping more oil in it, over and over again. Eventually I blew the head gaskets and cracked the engine block and the engine caught on fire because it was out of coolant. Trade in value of said car after incident.......$500.
Lesson learned...... Jiffy Lube is my new best friend.
