I can hear it now.  "Sorry officer.  But I was only trying to prevent ridge 
buildup on my piston wall.  "

Kinda like me getting caught driving the Midget with an inspection a full 14 
months overdue.  "But officer,  the engine's newly rebuilt,  and will never 
pass emmissions.  I have to break in the rings.  Don't you remember the when 
cars were new in the '70's and they told you not to take the cars on the 
highway for the first 1,000 miles?"

I actually got out of that one too.
