From a Mustang owners forum:

" My car was idling like crap the other day so I figured since I just got
it, it may have been awhile since anyone changed the oil out. I decided
to go ahead and change the oil. I used Mobile 1 synthentic oil like I was
reccomended on here. Anyways, I drain out the oil and noticed it was
extremely dark and even after 10 minutes of draining, it was still coming
out. I decided to go ahead and flush it to make sure all the bad stuff
got out. I hooked up the hose, ran water through the engine, started it
up and was waiting for the water to come out clean (The engine never went
above idle so I was told this would be ok). Anyways, About 3 minutes into
this, then engine starts shaking and shuts off. I figured it was all
cleaned out so I plugged it up, added the oil and figured I was ready to
go. WRONG! The car won't freaking start now. This car has been nothing
but trouble for me, I think I am done with it."


So, is this the do it yourself version of the "cash for clunkers" program?
Too bad this guy doesn't get the cash, though, sounds like he is going to
need it.
