i was getting an oil change at a fastlube...
and one of the mechanics comes in and asks "who owns the white cavalier?" i raise my hand or something and he says he wants to ask about my the stickers on my back window. since i live in se texas all i can think is "great. here comes a lecture" so i go out and he asks "where did you get this sticker?" and he is pointing and the w with the line through it. then he says he needs one. i told him i couldn't remember where i ordered it but to try cafeshops.
i was so pleasantly surprised. that made the 1 hour wait for the oil change a little better. i think i am going to look for those and order him one. i may ever order a few extras just in case.

3. I have "Dump Bush" in my back window.
And have gotten lots of "thumbs up" from other drivers. Not one bad thing yet.

4. Well, I live in Ohio...
and someone just recently scraped off my "Anyone But Bush" bumpersticker. I think, while I was parked at a shopping mall, but I'm not really sure exactly when it happened. Republicans can be so mean. A democrat would never be that low.

6. I can top that.
A few months ago, somebody slapped a Bush campaign bumper sticker over my Howard Dean sticker. I was furious -- that's my property, man!

5. check your oil level
They tend to over fill the oil, causing you to blow your head gasket.

7. i always check after driving a little to let it "settle".
just to make sure it isn't over or under filled. i knew one guy who got his changed at mallmart and they didn't put the cap back on or tighten the filter all the way. all his oil leaked out and burned up his engine.
