wife,may have to take away her 4kcsq

[Ben Walker]

Out of line?  Maybe a little IMHumbleO.  Take care to check the oil every
Sunday and this type of thing will probably never happen.  Sign her up for
Roadside assistance and feel secure knowing she is driving a safe car.  If
you truncate her use of the vehicle, there are no two ways of looking at it,
she will see that you do not trust her.  Very many women are not
mechanically inclined to pop the hood and these are the ones that you may
not want under there anyway.

My girlfriend recently called in a panic over her Chevy.  She stated that
oil was squirting all over the engine and it was making alot of strange
noise.  Turned out to be a ruptured upper rad hose.  Go figure.

Would I let her drive my Audi?  Yes.  Would I trust her under the hood?
Absolutely not.

Tell me if I'm out of line here or what...Wife pulls up into the driveway
with lifters clacking,  engine sounding like a sewing machine on steroids
and said "the engine is making a funny noise,  when was the last time YOU
checked the oil?".  Is it not the pilots job to preflight and responsibility
to make sure his craft is airworthy?  I haven't driven the 4kq for months,
I forgot it was MY responsibility to preflight her car before every
departure.  I taught her how do oil checks years ago as well as change a
flat tire but I guess it didn't take.  Should I take back the Audi (amid
accusations of her being "unworthy") and let her continue to drive the rice
burning p.o.s. honda?  Damn thing is so slow it can't get out of it's own
way,  a true pinnacle of Jap econo-engineering,  hell I can't even fit in
the thing even with the seats all the way back.  I don't know what I should
do,  the honda is really a deathtrap even in a minor wreck and handles too
poorly to avoid one,  but damn can't she appreciate the Audi enough to check
the oil?  I guess I'm just expecting too much.
