Re: Things are changing
Told my son over and over again about checking the oil and having it changed. I guess he figured it was a closed loop system, melted the engine into a lump of aluminum while driving up a long hill on the way to visit his girlfriend. This time he had to buy the new car on his own dime.
When I got there they both blamed it on the hill.......it was too steep! Mind you this was a 6 lane highway not some mountain goat trail! Sad! JimR

Re: Things are changing
THe son didn't know how to check his oil, so his father told him where to look, 20 minutes later he found the dip stick on this 1998 camaro. The boy came back and said it was low. The father told him to add a quart and recheck it. He obtained the oil and asked his father how to put it in. The father told him to go into the trailer , get the funnel and put the whole quart in. The son came back and told him the funnel was to big. The father asked"what color is it", son replied red. This is the funnel to fill fuel for the race car, used the smaller one. The kid replied "oh okay". The kid came back and said " the black one was to big as well and it made a big mess over the engine". The father at this point could beleive it took this kind of effort with a college degree kid to figure this out. So he went out, got the funnel that the kid used and was going to show him how to put it in. The kid shouted "dad stop thats the same funnel i used and it made a big mess and took a long time to clean it up I dont want to clean up another mess"!!!! The father said" are you nuts I'm not going to make a mess". The kid said " ok dad go ahead you'll see" The son was amazed when the father removed the oil fill cap and not the dip stick to add the oil.

Re: Things are changing
Have you guys noticed who the new cars are being marketed towards?
You have retro styled Mustangs , Challengers, Camaros, ....PT Cruisers, HHR suburbans, even little Fiats
