Ever think about how much time/effort/money we put into trying to simply reverse the effects of entropy/time? It's staggering. Car repairs, medical care, cleaning stuff, repairing stuff around the house that breaks, etc.
Probably 80% of my resources go in some way or form to this (just got me thinking about it. . .) Scary, isn't it?

Yes it is, and sometimes it comes in overwhelming waves. Last fall was bad... Suzuki wouldn't start, roof needed to be done, had trouble with the jetta... it went on and on. After a while, you start to recognize which ones are lost battles, and you cut your losses. Over time, it's also made me much more careful about the work I do... much more "while I'm in here" work, and much more careful about doing things RIGHT. Like John Walker said once: "If you can't afford to do it right, you
really can't afford to do it wrong"

No if we did it by "spark plug count" then I'd only be at 5. My "street fleet" has no spark plugs
