Damn dude you might want to throw in the occasional oil change and/or check your oil on occasion. 4 blown engines out of 14 cars is not a very good track record.
Uh...yeah. Or get a mechanic to look at the car before purchasing. Something is troubling about this list. I'm 29 and I've owned 3 cars total, including my current one which is a 2013 and I expect to last for a while.
