My favorite part was when I took it in for the oil change and the guy insisted I run the wiper fluid so he could see what was wrong with it. I tried to explain that it was really going to jet forward. A lot. But he was hearing none of it and told me to just do it. So I did. Squirting -15 washer fluid in an arc a couple of feet ahead of the truck and right down into the pit in the bay ahead of me, where a man shrieked "Hey! What the hell??".

I felt bad, but it didn't keep me from laughing like mad!
