I had a moment of panic yesterday morning. As I went to check the fluids in my new old van, I discovered that the oil cap was gone. There was a one-inch hole in the valve cover where it should have been.
I have no idea what happened exactly. Within reason, I neglected to put it back on the last time I checked the oil. Luckily, I was only about a quart and a half down, and the local auto parts had a new cap for fifteen bucks. So, I made sure all the other fluids were good, and you better believe I made certain that all caps were on tight. You know what I did next?
Drove 320 miles to Hessel, in Michigan's glorious Upper Peninsula.
But Marty, shouldn't you have driven around town for a few days to make sure everything was okay?
Aw hell, as me Grandpa Joe would have said. I was otherwise set to go, and it had been driving just fine. What's to wait for?
Indeed.
