so i have a story to share no one will care about but this story is interesting and takes the cake for my day. my day off was Monday so i decided to do some things around the house pack for the move and change oil before i put the tools away. it was a super hot day for me, i went to the auto store and bought a filter and oil. I came home and changed my oil, now i can usually do this with a hot engine just being super careful to never spill a drop on the cement but today was different i had the pan under then i removed the drain plug and missed the first big glug glug of oil splashing spilling oil all over the drive way i felt like a fool next was an oil filter i removed it but my hands were oily from the spill i had so i accidentally dropped it in the hot pan of oil splashing oil all over the under sided of the car all over the drive way even more of a mess.... so i rolled the car back cleaned up all the oil took a break from the heat got a drink of water then i did normal oil change procedure. added some fresh oil to the filter lubed the gasket did up the drain plug and when i went to go stick the filter on some thing was super wrong..... i must have grabbed the wrong filter same size box and all i am not sure if it was in the wrong spot at the auto store or what went on but now i need a ride to the store to get a new one that was 5 bucks in the trash. when i got home i decided to add in all the random jugs from the garage because i forget about these 1qt 1/2qt stragglers that just ended up on the shelf from past changes. I accidentally added a wee bit much, no big deal really it will burn off or ill just do an oil fart by when no one is around it will be fine. ![]() here is the splash mess disaster ![]() now this brings me up to today Thursday, i drive to work no issues knowing the oil was a little full so i got off 2 exit early to my job and decided to take the back desert road and let a flying oil fart while no one was around. got up in 3rd gear and held it down leaving the thickest bluest oil fart in the history of farts, good 60 second plume of smoke couldn't see a thing i pulled into work still slightly smoking from the massive fart following me around, so i took my parking spot where i normally do and farted a little more held it at 4300rpm and just let it rip since there is no one around im way in the back out in the desert no customers or coworkers im the 3rd car there so after ing for a while i let the car air out walked inside no big deal no one saw my plume, so i thought. WRONG after 5 mins of being in work the manager comes up to me and said that the police want to talk to me, i was thinking oh great my manager heard that the burn out in the back lot from last week was my burn out and i was going to get a ticket from like last weeks burn out fest with the other guys i head out and there is a fire truck and cop car by my car, they wanted to know what was going on and they saw the smoke from the free way out in the desert, then the guy pointed at the bush and said i lit the bush on fire with my car when clearly its black oil spray. i got one heavy scolding and was told if he sees my car smoking like that again they would ticket me. ok yea i crop dusted half the desert but it was so far out there no houses or business places no shops nothing but 2 stop signs and where i work i cant imagine my fart was so heavy they saw it from the free way thats like 1 mile from the road i went on. ![]() the oily mess from the car. now thats my story how was your day.

That happened to me when I was deployed to a forward operating base, in the early nineties. We called it the Turkey Trots. I am dying to know what really happened, though.

Ah, chalk it up to one of those "bad days" we all experience from time to time. Unless your state has "pollution" laws which violate a greenies day, then don't worry about the cops. They were just finishing off a donut and were itching for some action and you were IT. Keep your spirits up and just remember that the GMF care about you. |

True dat but it only gets "farts" when its a little over full on oil and i could have not been lazy and drained a smidgen but i decided to just fart it off. kinda felt like i walked down the lone isle at the supermarket let a few rips because no one was around and as soon as a few rips pass every one hovers around your fart why is that

I feel your pain about the spilt oil. Got one better tho. Try draining out 2.5 qts of the nastiest, stinking, black, grungy, manual trans fluid into a gallon milk jug. Don't spill a drop. Carefully install fresh syromesh back in without spilling any. Jack the car down & run over the gallon jug of goo, smashing the hell out of the jug with the passenger tire and dumping it all over the clean concrete driveway. Yeah.... |

That's cause there is the brave few like me will rip one when a aisle is full of people, helps clear a path and gets people away from me

I had one that oil farted like mad. Eventually I got pissed when it started burning like 1 quart per 50 miles and would sometimes just hold the pedal to the floor in 5th gear. I had an oil fart that went on for miles going down the interstate. I pulled over at the next exit and it needed over a quart of oil added. Somehow I never got pulled over but had some nasty looks and people yelling. The cars (the ones I could actually see) were pulling over behind me. I am sure there are others that I couldn't see.

I have one of those blue placards you hang from your rear-view mirror (got it when I was in the air force) but I've never used it. Idk why Probably because I'm not too bad off honestly, just some back pain so I feel kinda bad using it.

Welcome to the all new Geo Metro Forum. We hope you enjoy your visit.

next was an oil filter i removed it but my hands were oily from the spill i had so i accidentally dropped it in the hot pan of oil splashing oil all over the under sided of the car all over the drive way even more of a mess....
i must have grabbed the wrong filter same size box and all i am not sure if it was in the wrong spot at the auto store or what went on but 

i head out and there is a fire truck and cop car by my car, they wanted to know what was going on and they saw the smoke from the free way out in the desert, then the guy pointed at the bush and said i lit the bush on fire with my car when clearly its black oil spray. i got one heavy scolding and was told if he sees my car smoking like that again they would ticket me. ok yea i crop dusted half the desert but it was so far out there no houses or business places no shops nothing but 2 stop signs and where i work
i cant imagine my fart was so heavy they saw it from the free way thats like 1 mile from the road i went on.
