Prophecy Fulfilled

So! Someone once told me that everyone at one point in their auto mechanic career manages to commit a particular mistake while changing their oil. Today, outside my apartment, with the Fit leaning on the curb to allow greater accessibility, I confess I committed that mistake. It became apparent when I saw a pool of black oil collecting in the gutter at the same time I was putting the last quart in. Yes, that's right folks, I forgot to put the bolt back in.

  1. You're right!! I've done it!! You groan, smile, hit your forehead and say "Doh!" and go buy some more oil. And you're right about pretty much everyone doing it.

  2. Well, I've never done that. But, of course, I've never changed the oil in a car. Isn't that why there are oil change places and credit cards???
