Maybe you are used to that, but vast hordes of unwashed proletarians are
not. It is for them that the Maintenance Minder was devised. Poor
maintenance is the #1 factor in excessive emissions.

Personally, I believe that if federal emissions limits weren't screwed down
so far, and if the automakers weren't saddled with federal emissions
warranty requirements, that Maintenance Minder would not be in your car
right now.
