What is it w/ unreliable oil spewing contraptions?

Two wheels..... Four wheels..... Does it really matter? Something about making a pile of shit keep breathing and even worse excel at a task (An elevated indication that the decease has reached pink elephant proportions in which there is no return.) that it was never intended to do. Well, welcome to the club Colin.... How can I predict this you may ask? I could make many claims however, I will leave it at the premature obsession of anything on wheels and the certainty that if I hold a wrench in my hand the boy will be in tow in short order w/ the demand "I help!, Pease......, Pease....."
