For all of us whose first car use to leak oil like a sieve.

Had an old Chevy Vega that maybe leaked a little oil until an exposed manhole ripped off the oil pan. You bet it leaked after that!

My first car was an AMC Rebel. I paid $50.00 for it. It lasted almost a year and leaked transmission fluid like a sieve.

Roughly a year after my first car, a well used 1985 Dodge Daytona, while flooring it on the highway on-ramp, my engine starting making a horrible noise.  

My dad:  when was last time you put oil in?
Me:  heh?
My dad:  oil change, when are you due for your next change?
Me:  whuh?

Turns out even with using a refurbished second hand engine, oil changes are much cheaper.

I had a 73 Plymouth with a 318. Gassed it up twice a week and a half a quart a week. When it got near the end it was up to a quart a week.

1st car, a ‘66 Plymouth Fury III. Not sure if it leaked more than it burned, but the oil consumption was reduced drastically once I discovered what the valve cover gaskets were for...

My 20 yo diesel Fords leak a little. But with 4 gallons of motor oil in one, I don’t fret it much!

First car, my '74 Austin Mini. Leaks oil from the rear main...still to this day. Never have fixed it, 26 years later. I think this summer is the summer of Mini-love.

My first car, a ‘78 Camaro handed down to me, came stocked with several quarts of oil and bottles of power steering fluid.  I used to love the spontaneous arm workouts that would seemingly come out of nowhere with a high pitched squeal that cannot be mistaken for anything else.  I still have it and can’t wait to RF my son with it in a few years. Family traditions and all, you know?
