MY theory: Women go to these quick lube places just to get oogled! Some women just change the oil when the engine doesn't run anymore! [This message has been edited by MLariviere (edited 12-18-2001).]

Hey Mike, how about our brilliant brother Don? His trucks don't have oil in the crankcases, they have lapping compound!
