amusing anecdote

I was refueling my '85 the other day........and a middle-aged man sauntered over and asked......what year is that? "1985" I replied......then he said...."Looks great...I had one from that year and drove it into the ground......200K miles!" I thought to myself......well if you'd have taken care of her the car would have been quite nice at 200K..........then he yelled over when I was checking the oil....."What are you doing??"......"Checking the oil"....I replied...............then........"Why are you doing that with the engine on??".

I just shook my head..........
