I'm told it'll keep me alive,
although I'll be clinically dead
when they open up my chest,
pull my ribcage apart,
and replace a stuffed section of my
ascending aortia with a dacron graft.

Guaranteed for 10 years or 120 months,
whichever comes first.
Big plus!
No oil change or filter necessary.
How good is that?
