I am a small engine mechanic. One of my friends called and said that one of his new non-english speaking employees had filled an engine completely up with gasoline, instead of putting the gas in the gas tank. He put the gas in the oil dipstick tube. I advised him to drain all of the oil/gas mix, and refill with the required 2 quarts of oil. I then told him that more than likely the cylinders had gasoline in them too. It was a verticle shaft engine so the gas could get by the rings and into each cylinder (it was a Kawasaki twin). I told him to pull the spark plugs out and then make sure that the spark plug wires were as far away from the engine as possible. He asked me why and I explained that when he turned the engine over the gasoline in the cylinders would come out of the spark plug holes and that was a chance the gas could explode if a spark was present. He wrapped both plug wires in electrical tape, put cardboard around them and then put more electrical tape around the cardboard. He turned the engine over and a cloud of gas came out of one cylinder and suddenly exploded. He told me it was about a 3 foot ball of fire. No one was injured and he was able to put the fire out instantly since he had a fire extinguisher ready to go. The employee was fired on the spot. There was no damage to the lawn mower.

Some states have no inspections, plus some use a lot of salt on the roads in winter, so cars only last about 10 years. This stuff is probably more common in poorer states, but don't forget we are only seeing the "highlights", do don't extrapolate across every car in the US.

That oil filter saved the engine a lot of damage by keeping that melted plastic from circulating.

Ten years later, at 150k miles, it was still rolling on the exact same tires that were on it when he bought it. They weren't even low on tread. They were just full of dry rot cracks in the tread, and had started leaking.

@philojudaeusofalexandria9556

That's what happens. Tires get hard and they stop wearing so they'll 'last' a real long time. They also stop gripping, and eventually stop holding air; but long before they go flat they are very unsafe to drive on because of the lack of grip. They'll keep their tread forever.
