[V8] What were they thinking?

[Ingo Rautenberg]

OMG!  Unbelieveable what some people will try.  Like when a buddy of  
mine picked up a good running Omni only to have it pouring smoke a  
mile after we pick it up.  By the time we got it home and tried to  
check the oil, I decided to drain the pan of.....

4 Gallons of fresh motor oil!  Seems the guy thought to do an oil  
change after my buddy gave it a once over the day before and either  
forgot to change the oil and just added more or (more likely) mistook  
quarts for gallons!  Another lost evolutionary link found.

Yeah, the motor was toast...
