    I'm gonna be pissed if the 300C no longer has separate, amber rear turn signals.

    Really? I thought just the 300's had red-only, but the C's had amber. Then a couple of MY's back, all of them got the amber treatment.

    I love chocolate-covered bacon. And, come to think of it, I love smashing up cars. Is this some kind of new target-marketing scheme on Jalopnik?

    In reply to Profound And Complete Parallel Parking Failure
    My aunt used to be similarly humorous to watch while parking. At least she had an excuse of sorts, as old Saab 900's only allow the wheels to turn about 14º. Combine this with arthritis or some such, which made her to weak to really turn the steering wheel more than halfway, and parking could be painful.

    In reply to What Happens When You Don’t Change Your Oil For 60,000 Miles
    I once knew this girl with a purple Ford Probe who asked me to check the thing out because it was "shaking" when she drove it. Being interested in her for ahem...other reasons, I obliged and came to her apartment complex that weekend.

    As soon as I arrived, I asked her for the keys, got behind the wheel, and cranked the ol' grape jellybean up. As soon as I cranked however, the damn thing started to shake like a wet dog. "Sweet Jesus, what the hell happened here?", were the exact words out of my mouth at that instant. My curiosity piqued, I popped the hood open, saw nothing odd, and decided to pull the oil dipstick.

    It was bone dry.

    I told her that her car was likely toast, but for $30 bucks or so we might have a chance with an oil change. That is, if it a) actually started back up correctly again and b) didn't profusely leak out all the oil right there.

    She gave me the money and I bought the most potent mix of stop leak, friction modifier augmented, high-mileage formulation oils and oil additives I could find.

    I got to work on the oil change and noticed there actually was some oil in the engine, but it was about a half a quart of the thickest, blackest, slime I have ever seen come out of an engine.

    A few minutes later, her plucky Probe was actually running without having a seizure. I told her to get it looked over again by a professional just to be safe.

    Thinking back on the slime, I asked her: "When was the last time you got an oil change?"

    She told me something to the effect of: "I think maybe a year, year and a half ago. Why? How soon should I change it? I have no time for these things."

    I took away two things from this:

    1. If you are ever in the South Florida area, and you are considering a used ride, you should probably avoid buying a purple Ford Probe.

    2. That girl is not wife material.

    Had a Saab 96 come in to a shop I used to work at. 46k miles, she asked for an oil change, said it had been a while since she had her oil changed so she wanted to go synthetic. After the tech looked at her dip stick and saw the sludge piled on it, it was his and another mechanics opinion that it had never been changed. Much as she tried to argue that it had been changed 8k miles ago, her engine still ate itself less then 500 miles later.

    @kaneshadow: hahaha yeah. She even tried to come back to us and make us liable for that. Luckily I'm a copious note taker and I wrote on the original work order "Master Tech believe oil has never been changed - customer advised" so she didn't exactly have a leg to stand on.
