Sanwich. FIRE!? Helped fix a 911

As the title reads:

Head out, like a baby, of the office for a mid-day something to chew on. Walk to my car renders what appears to be a serious fire across the street at a small tire/repair shop. Upon further review, I can tell the smoke is originating from a low point, seems a little blue/white, and there are 7 people standing in the smoke.

My first thought, it's got to be a 911.

To my twisted excitement, it's one seriously aggravated white SC, smoking like the dickens! I casually get into Papa Smurf and glide on over to take a gander at what may be the cause of their ills, perhaps lend a hand.

I didn't have to get out of the car to see the faces of dullards attempting contemplation of what the matter be. Also noted a very smooth running 3.0 with oil dripping from the exhaust pipe as I rolled up

Upon approach I explained to these guys they needed to shut it down immediately...and I think in pure desperation, they listened. Skuhl'd 'em on the min-max mark on the dipstick, hot-level-car running oil check, and that they definitely need to relieve a couple quarts and try again. Imagine that, let a few quarts out, and the forest fire subsided, still smoking but a lot less. There was a lot of sludge to burn out and who knows what other kind of mess it made.

I purposefully didn't take a pic of the white SC, with white cookie cutters, tea tray and PCA badges getting the oil overfilled in West Hartford... in case it belongs to someone here. If it sounds familiar, you've been notified

And the chicken cutlet sammich was awesome...

This thread is useless without identifying the establishment.


Specifically, the establishment where you got the fabulous chicken sandwich.
