We carried "oil saver" snap-on can tops and made sure the cans were wedged upright in the trunk next to the mandatory tool box containing extra belts, a cap and rotor and points.

But when they first came out, they were in round bottles with the spout in the middle, so that you needed a funnel, and they glugged worse than a can without a hole punched in it. It's taken for granted now, but we were overjoyed when we got those rectangular bottles with the spout on one side so that they pour smoothly. It irritates me now when I see someone try to pour one of those from the wrong side of the bottle. I want to scream, "DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT WE WENT THROUGH TO GET THAT FOR YOU!!!!"
