yea well, I understand that, it was more of an analogy of where my maintenance mentality comes from. Ok, a bike reference for you then. If it wasn't for me doing said PM, I would not have discovered that I had bad bottom bracket bearing on a fairly new bike. I would not expect that, but I went through 2 bearings on the drive side, so I ended up replacing the bottom bracket entirely to eliminate that issue in the future. So my bike will now not fall out of the sky.
