LOL, know what ya mean! I want to close my eyes everytime I go under the big truck, everything is scraped up!! The oilpan doesn't have a lot of paint left on it. Most guys on here wouldn't believe the stuff we take those through, and just think, I get paid to drive offroad!!LOL

just did a 220 mile trip down to Cabelas in Sagnasty, [Saginaw]. Hauled down four tires and wheels from my Ranger a guy bought. Got myself a new pocket knife. Checked out my new Borla, impeccable. So far it's the cat's butt. Just a nice little gurgle at 73 mph, and zero drone!!! Had to jump on it just a little, the gurgle disappeared, and a roar took over. Exactly what I wanted.

My sister came over for our Christmas celebration. She asked me to change her headlight in her 2006 Saturn Ion. Took well over an hour. Headlight retaining pins were caked with rust. While I was doing that, I checked her oil, or her sludge if I'm being honest. Nothing but nasty thick sludge on the stick, which was pretty much seized in place. She has been adding 2 quarts"before any long drive". Im basically speechless at this point. Couldn't check the pilse she just dumped more in. I checked the filler cap, covered in thick bright yellow crap. It was thick and dried out. She then told me she hasn't changed the oil in "probably a couple years". Sos after dinner and presents we went to get sea foam, oil and filters. When I pulled her filter out I saw something I've never seen in a running engine. Loads of metal particles and shards. Looks like metal threads. And a hole in the paper media. The oil looked like metallic black paint. I put fresh oil and some seafoam in and let it run for a while. Drained it and refilled with Mobil1 synthetic. I swear when I first started it, it sounded like a metal lathe. You can clearly hear metal on metal. No stethoscope needed. Someone is going to have a nasty bill on her hands soon. And it only has 112000 Kms on it.
