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 can remember putting on the track tires at an event at the Glen, then getting called to an instructors meeting. After the meeting and the student assignment changes, I went out to instruct for the first session. Got back and had a request to drive a students car, with the student, around the track.
Finally got my car out in our session. And something just didn't feel quite right. A little more loose than normal. Came in after a lap and headed for the garage, after a mental checklist review during that lap to realize I had not torqued the freakin' wheels. They where just where I left them, snugged.
