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: |

QUOTE How about leaving a lug lock key ON a lug and driving off. 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.... Steve, You're not alone there. I did the same thing and of course only a few days before an autocross. I ended up ordering replacement lugs 2nd day air from Summit. Not to mention it took forever to get the locking lugs off, between finding the right crummy old socket (POS old 12-point 13/16 I got from somewhere) to then getting them out of that socket, so I could go on and get the next one off. My car does not have locking lug nuts anymore! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) -John |
