My first oil change I thought I knew more than Wayne b/c 101 Projects said add 8 or 9 quarts of oil and then check the level. Well, I figured this was a typo because we all know 911's hold 12 quarts so I added 10.5 and then went for a drive to warm the car up. Only time my oil guage has read off the scale while driving and when I got home the dipstick confirmed that some idiot had put in atleast a qt. too much. FIRST lesson learned, never think you know more than the man that wrote the book. For some reason I forgot that the oil in the lines to the cooler wouldn't drain out--sometimes I scare myself.
I won't even go into the drag racing incident with the county sheriff sitting behind me watching the whole thing in disbelief that neither of us checked our mirrors until it was way too late. I was much younger back then and I learned a very important lesson that day about what can happen when you are caught street racing--which I have never done again and never will.
