Message You actually punched a hole in the side of the pan?


: Here's what we're gonna do. Whoever wants in on this, go grab your oil dipsticks and maybe a pitchfork and/or a torch. We'll meet up outside this guy's office, kick down the door and beat the living crap out of him for designing an utterly f-ing useless dipstick. Then we'll ask him nicely why apparently no thought was put into designing a critical component of the car. Then we'll stand over him until he can come up with a suitable replacement.

: I was checking my oil last night and here are the results of three readings.

: Reading #1: No oil showing, but apparently I have adequate amounts of Tubby Custard.(I didn't even know that was a fluid we should be checking, but it was there)

: Reading #2: According to the dipstick I'm 8 quarts on the high side. Go figure.

: Reading #3: Jacked up car, beat hole in oil pan with pickaxe, measured what poured out. Oil level perfect.

: So I had to take the long way to figure out everything was fine, but I think it was worth it. So everybody get those tines sharpened on your pitchforks cause there's gonna be a beatin'.
