Of course it fell off and I didn't have a spare. Oh, I also had a Pro Solo the next day and a practice that afternoon.... OR leaving the t-top latch unlatched and having it blow off at 70 mph.... OR getting the main caps out of order during a rebuild... Should I go on??? :stupid:

FRRAX Owner/Admin Group: Admin Posts: 15,433 Joined: 13-February 04 From: Ohio Member No.: 196	I decided to check my oil tonight (after seeing low coolant today and a 900 mile road trip last weekend). It was about a quart low (5K miles, better than usual). I go to the shelf and grab the 5 quart bottle of mobile 1 (my wifes car holds 3.2 quarts, so I usually have 1/2 a jug around or so). I start pouring it into the car when it hits me, this is used oil. Somehow, I put a jug of used oil on my shelf (and moved it to the new place, no less) and managed to add about 1/3 quart or so to my car tonight. It is mobile 1, it is probably out of my car, but I still feel pretty dumb for pulling that off. Just thought I'd share the stupidity, somebody has to. :stupid:
