Texas Tea


Went to South Coast Plaza to take my daughter to the Roxy store (GAH they're overpriced! But she had a gift card...) As we were walking up we passed a later white 9-3 Aero vert. Beautiful! Daughter is in love with it. (She's 9.)

Walking back out my wife notices a trail of oil drips that leads right to where we were parked. "Is that our car?"

"No way," I respond. Confident that it's fine. But looking under the car I see a puddle. I pop the hood and break out the mega LED flashlight. The entire passenger side of the car is covered in oil. I do a quick dipstick check and the oil is barely touching the tip. Ruh roh. I toss in the spare quart I keep in the car and we come straight home. Oil light came on about half way so I stopped and picked up a couple more quarts. Light stayed dark the rest of the way. Whew!
