I would say free oil changes for life, but I wouldn't want them driving my car again.

What manner of person did this? With the comment of 'free oil changes for life', I hope it wasn't one of the people that work a shop....

It was a tech at a shop that we use frequently. They took it on a road test after an oil change and this happened.

Must have been one heck of a "road test" ... of which the car passed and the driver... well ...

Holy oil change, Batman!

I hope there was more than an oil change involved that required a road test.

So sad to see.

Drove my Z through rain for the first time, it does not rain in Southern California every day. The funny thing is I turned on my wipers for the first time, car is so planted on the road it's ridiculous

Got her back in the car last night. Still lots of odds and ends to sort out, install the interior and fab up a new exhaust. Need a few tweaks on the Mishimoto rad too (using a Civic EG radiator).

Rolling around on a battery that tested 245 CCA this morning. I bought a new battery but have not installed it because no tools

I can just see the conversation when I get stranded and have to flag someone down.

Stranger: can I help you?
Me: do you have a 10 mm wrench? My battery died.
Stranger: huh?
