My Mom is a Giant Moron
[ rakaur on Mon Oct 11 at 10:16 AM // category: life ]
So, as I’m driving my mother to work this morning at 6:30 she’s telling me how the car was “low on oil” yesterday and how she “put some in.” I automatically translated this to “I took it and had the oil changed” because I honestly didn’t think she was this stupid.
So I’m on my way home, and the thing is chugging and rattling and spewing exhaust out the ass. I’m thinking “no, she couldn’t possibly…” as I check the oil level. It turns out, the four quarts in there (it’s a four quart tank) were more used up than Jenna Jameson, so she went to DOLLAR GENERAL and put in seven quarts of shitty ass oil. Yes, the engine had 11 quarts of oil in a four quart tank. It was filled up to the cylinder heads.
So I changed the oil with four quarts of the good clear as silk stuff; I changed the oil filter; I changed the air filter; I put some fuel injector cleaner in; I changed windshield washer fluid; I changed power steering fluid; I sealed the battery; and, I put air in the god damn tires. The car runs better than it did when it was made.
Swear to god.
