beets exist nowhere around my car, unless I bring a can home.

Don't let sprintman catch you with tinned beets.

I've beat the [censored] out of my 'stang on everything from 0w20 to 5w50. It doesn't seem to care.
I got some refried beans the other day, but I didn't get any on the car. maybe I will get some beets next time.
When refried beans are "let loose" around my car it coughs and sputters.
Does that mean anything?

drive aggressivley is an understatement for what I did to my fbody.lol
7 to 8 years of daily driving balls to the wall. Put a nitrous kit that was jetted for 100shot on it at 115k. Probably sprayed a good 5 or 6 bottles. Then at 127k i put a bigger cam in it. Thing would breath all the way past 6500rpms. the cam bearings looked really good when we took the old cam out. I had a lifter twist on me and scarred the cam up. Metal shavings everywhere. Replaced it with new lifters, got the cam regrinded. Poured about 6gallons of oil through the intake valley, and stuck a magnet in the oil drain hole to fish out any remaining shavings. Filled it up with fresh oil and commenced with the beating.LOL
Still running like a champ at 130k. I used M1 10w30 for the majority of its life. Then tried out Valvoline HM dino 10w30 for about a year and from 100 to 130k have been using M1 40w except for about 3k after the cam install I used Penz YB.

When you only have 115 hp in a jungle of high hp machinery that is the streets of the USA, you HAVE to beat on it. I hit close to redline about once a day just to merge onto the interstate!

I looked at the title and expected a funny picture. I'm disappointed.

I would not say that I beat on them (that would be brake torquing an auto, or dumping the clutch on high revs in a manual), but I do drive them hard, often running the rpms up high (not exceed redline though). It's fun to drive with a lead foot.
The pedals have two basic positions. On, or Off. =-)
Oil gets changed by the season, or when I notice oil pressure falling off.
All three vehicles are currently wearing the orange can of doom, and have primarily had the orange can of doom in the past.
Mobil 1 exclusively in one vehicle. Valvoline ac or Castrol gtx in the other two.
They are long term vehicles: 1973 (161,000 miles), 1983 (daily driver, 220,000 miles), and a 1989 (just turned over 160,000 miles). So its not a case of beating on something I trade in every 3-5 years.
I will take any of 'em on a long haul road trip, but usually the 89 since it has a/c.

Drive it like you stole it.

By driving aggressively do you mean that you drive like a jacka ss, as if you own the road and everybody else is just in you way?
I don't ever use root vegetables on my car.
