shortly after posting , my oldest calls me
tire sensor light came on , and she was at the air pump and made sure all tires were up to 35psi

one had been a little low.

I bet that has not been checked in a long time because I didn't check it at the oil change that turned into a power steering pump.

I asked if she checked the oil recently , uhh she would do that right now , well the cap was hot and she dropped it and it didn't hit the ground

calmly say well there are some frame cross members you need to look on because you don't want to drive with the oil cap off .

it took a few minutes it felt like a little short of eternity, but she did finally see it with the cell phone flashlight

so note to self , she needs a better flashlight , next gift giving reason buy them a flash light.

Took you long enough,,but you finally figured them out.

Wolfie, ain't witchcraft, them cars are running on borrowed time. My brother had a girlfriend and when she was asked about when was the last time she'd added oil to her older car she just said all oil did was make it smoke bad so she weren't puttin' no more oil in there.

I had an old "69" Ford Custom that I would tell the gas attendant (remember those) Fill er up with oil and check the gas!

Yep get in and go. If it don't start its my job to get it going and many times I drive the vehicle she uses all the time and i am lucky if there is enough gas to make it to town.

Wolfie doesn't Marie Laveau live down close to you?

Not hard to figure out how they keep cars running considering no oil , tires, coolant on their brooms

I had my wife trained or she had me trained it was something like that.
when she was running low on fuel after work she would call me and tell me to meet her outside, I knew that meant she was low on gas so I go out hop in and she drive us down to the station about a mile I fill it up go in and get any groceries we might have needed and drive home.

good time to chat and no emergency low fuel
