Default Confusion over engine oils

But some people are just too poor to be able to afford an oil that may
end up costing you $5.00 dollars each change, apparently.


Then they should trade their boat in for one of these:

Holy ****! Do the neighbors not get on your case?

One time I was living on an Army post, and I had an old MGB GT in the
driveway. The engine, transmission radiator, hood, and all the other
assorted stuff removed to pull the engine, tranny and clutch was laying all
over the yard.

About six o'clock that night, I got a call from the Commanding General's
aide. He politely informed me that if my yard wasn't cleaned up by 0600 the
next morning, the moving trucks would be there to move me off post - at
*my* expense!

Luckily, I had some friends close by who would help, and by about three in
the morning we had the thing all back together. Close call!
