Ok- Twist my arm!
By Bill Conley - 03/20/2002 3:29:24 PM; IP 4.41.12.8
Each department had "pool" cars for going to meetings, etc. We'd have cars in the pool for maybe six months and then they'd be sold.

Sometimes a supervisor or manager would pull strings to get first crack at buying one of these pool cars. (The price was great but I'd never touch one- these things were abused worse than rental cars!)

Anyway, a first year employee (female :-) took a Tempo pool car to a meeting in Toledo - 75 miles away. When she got back she told a story about "the Check Engine light coming on, but the car still ran fine". She drove at least an hour on the highway with the light on.

We took a look at the car, and discovered that the drain plug had fallen out of the oil pan and the car had no oil! Now the good part. We knew the manager who was going to buy the car a week later. Everybody hated him.

The engineering team made the decision to pop in a new plug, top off the oil, ......... and say nothing.
