Remember the Exxon Valdez?.....that was a small oil spill....
So I head into the auto parts store to pick up some oil. I see a shiny new plastic 16 gallon oil catcher. I think wow that should be better than the open tubs I'm currently using......while in the back of my mind thinking.....I bought something like this a few years before and overflowed it due to the sheer speed with which hot oil pours out of the 911. Well I ignore this thought thinking this is different because it has two drain holes instead of just 1 like the one from years ago that didn't work so I'll give it a try.
Aaaaaahggggh. It quickly overflowed and made a mess of my driveway. All the prius drivers slow as they pass the driveway. They won't use as much in petroleum products as I just spilled on my driveway in their lifetime. (of course saying Prius drivers and slow is kind of redundant) Children and dogs run for cover as I maniacally spread out the kitty litter stuff to clean up the spill.
So my nice 30 minutes of prepping the car for the AX this weekend turns into 2+ hours of mopping up my mess. Very frustrating to repeat the same stupidity! Just had to share as I wind down for the evening.
