I need a favor from you guys.
Kindly smack me if I ever consider lending out my car again. I lent out my 1995 Chevy Lumina to a friend in need over the winter. He decided he'd be considerate and change the oil when it needed it, which was a nice touch...
When I got the car back, she started having problems. I noticed a funny burning smell, and she was running badly. I was freaking out a bit because I thought something major had gone bad, which would mean I'd need a new car. She may be old, but she'* only got about 85k...
Today I decided to be a responsible car owner and check my fluids, since I didn't last month like I usually do. The oil is a half quart HIGH. Honestly, I'm annoyed, but kind of relieved. I'll go change the oil tonight, no harm, no foul.

lol, Thwoom'* got it. This is more of a quiet rant than anything. I've been afraid to check my fluids because with the way my car'* been running, I was afraid I'd find coolant and oil mixing.
