I didn't have much money back then, so those 3 quarts of motor oil were equal to my food and entertainment budget for the week.

After the second quart, I checked the dip stick and no sign of oil. So I added another half quart and checked again. Still no oil.

That's when I discovered the oil spill under the car.

My excuse? Tucson in 1971.
