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:

I rebuilt and replaced an engine in my old S-10 while in high-school. I left a red rag on the exhaust manifold and drove to my friends house about 15 miles away.

The rag caught on fire and luckily he saw the flame through the grill as I drove up and we grabbed his water hose and put it out with absolutely no damage.

I recently change the oil in my dirt track car and replaced the oil filter. I didn't notice the rubber gasket from the old filter was still stuck in there and when I cranked car oil spray everywhere. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
