For about a year, the Corvette has been bleeding what I believed was motor oil dripping down the motor and off the gearbox or MAYBE leaking gearbox oil, though it didn't stink nearly badly enough to be the sludge I run in that slushbox. But I digress.

The dilemma: I couldn't see that it was leaking any more of either of those fluids than normal, yet the Corvette diapers (the sheets of old cardboard) were really getting a workout, but never pooling or even gathering in large enough drips to positively identify color or viscosity.

About three months ago, I decided I would only top up the mission-critical fluids (oil, gearbox oil) and see what ran noticeably low first. Despite normal measurements before the "experiment," I was sure it was going to be gearbox oil...I have a couple of strange but minor gearbox behaviors resulting from YEARS of being beat on for 8 hours, parked for 7 days, beat on for 8 hours, ad infinitum...so I was STOKED when I cranked the wheel to pull into the driveway last night and instead of complying, the steering pump howled its complaints about running out of hydraulic fluid.

The one system I give zero shits about is the one that's been pissing all over my garage for a year!

Win!

Power steering is for wimps.

Run as is, will make you strong as bull.

Found your car today.... Man, that shit is leaking bad. Typical GM though.

Yeah, I was on the prowl for a "new" BBQ, and then the plan changed.

Out trolling the parking lots for Snottsdale skanks again, eh Kalash?

I would delete the 2nd one KC... Danielle Bregoli is 15....

And that Verte lives in my community....doesn't drive much, I assume because it is always broken.

OK, changed it. Never heard of Danielle Bregoli. Just found her pic when I Googled "skank".

(but damn, that chick is only 15?!?!)

She is a sign that our world is heading to full scale Idiocracy in a few generations.

That's what happens when the beef and milk are full of hormones and kids are sexualized to the point where it's normal to wear booty shorts with shit printed across the ass.

I don't have ANY idea how you raise a properly-adjusted kid these days. The shit that porn makes people think is reality, plus all of the grossly hypersexualized products they're targeting at kids, will continue to screw some kids up real bad...how do you insulate kids from ALL of that creepy content when technology is pervasive and kids are almost expected to spend their waking hours buried nose-deep in their smartphones? I know there are parental controls - but I also know tweenage me would have been around those parental controls quicker than a puzzled adult could have said "hey, where'd that bottle of Jergens go?"
