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 (bruecksteve @ Aug 12 2004, 02:13 PM) How about leaving a lug lock key ON a lug and driving off. Been there, done that... Got home, wanted to do my brakes, and started thinking "now where did I leave that darn lug key"...then it hit me (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant.gif) That was fun hammering a socket on to break them off (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |
