Good thing the garage is epoxy coated. Wasn't much, but what a hassle.

This is a lesson that I have to learen over and over again lol. It generally happens when there is multi tasking involved and then there is beer lol!

A shitty life tip would be to just not ever change your oil. No more mess!

Some people just trade in the car when it runs out of oil!

Exactly, I was getting everything together to put my winter wheels on, since I had the car up in the air.

Sounds similar to when installing new brake lines, make sure all lines are tightened down before bleeding the system. HUGE puddle of brake fluid.

My parts from Z1 came today. :tup: So I installed the XP10 and XP 8 pads tonight. And chased the threads on the lug nuts and wheel studs with a tap and die.

Worst case scenario I had several years ago was after an oil change,I moved the oil pan out of harms way.I was under the car when my then 3 year old came whipping around the corner & promptly stepped into the pan. Looks like a guy by the name of “Murphy” was helping me too.

Oh fine. I get blamed for everything. I’m a very responsible person. Responsible for most problems. :rofl2:

My favorite salad. Murphy Slaw.

I finally cleared my P2A03 code, turns out the bolts had rattled loose on the header to test pipe flange, and was able to pass my emissions inspection with the test pipes still on.

You were born in the long summer, you've never known anything else. But now winter is truly coming.

My car has heated seats! And it's in storage in a heated facility! Jokes on me!

And in the winter, we must protect ourselves, look after one another.
