i get a call from one guy around here; one out of the 4 of us who own supras

he says "hey, my engine just died"
'well what happened?'
"all of a sudden it just didn't have oil in it"
'uh-huh.'
"so im thinking of buying a low mile jdm one, and my friend with a beamer says he'll do the whole swap for me"
'uh...huh. why dont i just give mike a call (for everyone's info: mike has 11 supras in his garage lot, all undergoing swaps) and he can put one in in no time for you.'
"nah, my friend says he can do it"
'uh.....huh.'

that just kind of killed the conversation right there. discuss.

wa.
must've been some new hi-tech alcohol based oil that just evaporated on him because he didnt push the dipstick in all the way.........

call him over to your house and when you answer the door just SLAP him and close the door again.

Clip, take your scissors and poke both of his eyes out for not checking the oil regularly or for not fixing a leak that he had. Either way if he doesn't let the guy with all of the supras work on it, then he deserves exactly what he gets.................lol

Sometimes if you're really lucky, you get a free oil filter when you buy the .99cent fuel filter. You have to watch the sunday paper and get the coupon though.....................:biglaugh:

yeah...the oil just vanished. poof! whats that new pennzoil synthetic they advertise? breaks down into smaller and smaller particles to get into the nooks and crannies? my guess is he was testing the prototype and it broke down so small that it just evapomorized straight out of the drain plug.

C'mon guys don't you know... Supra's actually burn oil in the combustion chamber, and use Gasoline to lubricate... duh.

He just needs to fill up again.

seriously, tell him to take it to Mike. I'll even drive down from RIC and help Mike put it in for him (not that Mike needs it)......Mike and I have a few (lot) of engine swaps/installs between us.

According to string theory, his oil molecules tied themselves up into little balls of string and got all frayed frazzled in the cumbustion chambers.
