Interesting fellow, my neighbor.

That is hilarious. What is that old saying....The truth is stranger than fiction. When I tell people that in the 70s my friend's stepfather did the same thing (EXCEPT that at that point he was between 160,000 and 170,000 miles on a big mid-1960s Chrysler...he felt that it was just repair places trying to drum up business, rather than needed maintenance), people don't believe me! I lost touch with my friend while his stepdad still had the car, so I don't know the story of the car beyond that point.
