Well, looking on the brighter side, the crankcase got "flushed"; the oil soaked kitty litter could be spread on the gravel road to keep the dust down; the oil soaked rags could be used to make torches. I won't mention the time I went to change the crankcase oil in my grandfathers relatively new Oldsmobile and drained the oil out of the automatic transmission all over the driveway. Damn, the sump on that transmission looked just like the sump on the engine. Hey, back in the 40s, I never ever heard of an automatic transmission before, let alone see one! humfrz |

Are you saying it's ok to pump it out of the ground but we can't put it back?

When it is scattered all over your driveway and you try to wash it off, it hurts the vegetation it comes in contact with, it contaminates ant hills, thus killing them, all the microflora in the area is set out of balance, the bugs get oil on them and the song birds get sick from eating oil covered bugs, it contaminates the water and kills mosquito larvae, kids playing in the street gutters get oil all over them and then there is this whole bio-magnification thing and the oil winds up in fish that people eat - eating too much oily fish is not good for the human body and people can die from heart attacks. All because of YOU - dumping oil in your driveway - SMH - how do you sleep at night? Time for my 2 aspirin, 2 tylenol, 2 oxycodone and a sleeping pill - I sleep just fine. humfrz |

Well, OK, then, just for @Koa , a new one (I think ??).
It was a hot, hazy, humid day in Missouri. I needed a part (transmission linkage) for my 1956 Ford pick-up truck. I had noticed a few old pickup trucks in the field (junk yard) behind this old farm house, way out in the country. So, armed with a handful of tools, I approached the farm house and beat on the door, but the old fart wasn’t home, at least he wasn’t coming to the door. Now, since I had met him before, I figured I’d just go on back and take off the linkage I needed and leave him some money on his back porch. I went on back through the waist high weeds, in the heat and humidity, and took off the parts. So far, so good – right? Not so fast, as I was approaching the back of the house, with parts in hand, I heard a series of low growls. There they were, two, large, black, “junk yard” dogs, German shepherd types. I tried to ease by them, but with each step, they growled louder and started to show their teeth, one got up on it haunches. I slowly put the parts on the ground, raised and out stretched my arms and slowly, while maintaining eye contact, eased on by them to the safety of my truck. THE END humfrz |

yeah, the only saving grace was i saw she wasn't stopping and slammed on the brakes. doing so caused me to t-bone her and put the car into the front yard. had i not braked, my car would have ended up getting t-boned straight into that light pole.
i bought another brz as soon as i had the insurance check. same options, same color. i didn't want anything different, and still don't. going on 5 years now with this one, which is really weird for me, i used to get bored with cars and change them out every 1-2 years.
