Re: oil dipstick..

That is awsome, you should include that in the " You Know Your a Redneck When!!" I am jeleous that I did not think of that first. Way to improvise, overcome and adapt. Colin

Re: oil dipstick..

For a really hot fire or heat sensitive people, the transmission dipstick would make a good choice, for those of use w/ autos. Just be careful that small people (kids) don't start a sword fight w/ them. That could be the end of knowing how much oil to add. But it would make for a good laugh when you explain to the dealer why your dipsticks are irrepairably intertwined. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
