You shouldn't blow in the device unless you are trying to get the client in trouble. Depending on the device it could result in a violation report to probation department. Wouldn't be a problem for you though but the guy it would be painful for a bit.

It'd be funny though
Are you sayin' Fred's drunk?

Sweet fancy Moses.

I have a friend (woman) that did this exact thing a few years back. Had BMW towed to indy shop that I recommended. The shop guys were friends of mine.

She didn't tell me the story. I guess to embarrassed.

The guys at the shop told me. We had a good laugh. I guess it takes some kind of special to do that. Her hair was all natural except for the color (blonde).

And to think, our current transportation secretary thinks these should be standard equipment on all vehicles.

I rebuilt a 69 Mustang fastback, including the engine. After the break in, I change the oil, etc. fired it up and nonchalantly walk over to the engine and see oil spraying out the oil filter housing. Numbnuts here forgot to install the oil filter. 😂

Should have taken the car to Hudson Ohio for an "ice fishing" trip.

It used to be that the "out of gas" people showed up in my driveway at 1 a.m I used to swear that a Shell sign appeared in my front yard after midnight.
