My White '95 spun #5 two weeks ago.  About five miles after it rolled over
100K. There was no warning.  I started it up cold at work, drove in the 20
freeway miles, got off at the off ramp the oil ligh came on at idle.  Still
wasn't noisy.  Spun a bearing less than 5 miles later.  Car was well cared
for.

I've seen more than one car that was well cared for, but had noisy-at-start
rod
bearings, spin a bearing.  It happened right in front of me during the SFO
tour last
summer.  My good friend Anthony Northrup spun one in his blue Gen 2 at the
side of
I-80 where we had stopped just to swap passengers to get through the
car-pool lane
at the bay bridge.  One minute he is idling fine, the next minute his car
sounded
like it was going to blow up.  

BTW...Anthony's first Gen 1, a black '90, is now my Bk Diamond....I got it
from him
because he spun a bearing in it, too.  Definitely bad luck for him....he
takes GOOD
care of his cars.
