Re: Some People Really SHOULD Drive Hondas

Yeah, when will we see cars designed to have an auxiliary oil feed
topped up by the gas cap?  Just a nice little row of different sized
caps that mate with dispensers at the fueling station and all
automatically top up with the appropriate grade of fluid... coded by
pins on the inlets.  Then the manufacturers could dispense with hoods
that open entirely.  The truly disposable 100k mile auto is on the
way...
