on a more serious note...
My car is... not great. Last night I went out to check the oil, and, since I felt like it, I used a flashlight, and looked inside the oil thing. It was dry.
So I put 4 quarts of oil in.
Yes. 4.
Tonight, when I got out of the PC, I backed up and looked at the spot where my car had been. Y'know, there was probably 2 quarts on the ground. I opened the thing, added 4 more.
Driving home, however, wasn't great. The car's running roughly, and I belched white smoke the entire way.
Burning plastic, a bit of burning metal. Some of it was probably the oil.
Now I hope dad'll be home soon, since he can help determine what to do. Then I can sleep.
On a happier note, I got a double paycheck from the temp place, and my normal one from the PC. And I now have 11 hours of Farscape. ;)
Thanks, Drake, it made my day. :)
