Funny story - my sister-in-law called her father several years back complaining of a loud noise coming from her engine. Now, he isn't a mechanic (firefighter/paramedic/peace officer) but he is mechanically inclined. So, he did a little questioning and ended up asking her when her oil was last changed.
"What do you mean?"
"Your oil. When did you change it last?"
"I haven't."
"Say WHAT?"
She had driven that car for a few years by that point. Sure enough, they pulled the dipper and that thing was bone dry. A little tumbleweed may as well have popped out of the engine. This was close to 10 years ago at this point and they still rib her about that.
