Oil Change Surprise

wgw370z · 03-26-2011, 04:47 PM

So I changed the oil and filter in the Z today, no biggie, done it before. So I pop off the guard, and what do I find? A fricken cigarette butt:

It's a Camel too:

Guess that flaming cancer stick got sucked into my grill and wound up on the guard. Man I wish smokers would at least have enough class to put their nasty smokes out in their own car and not flick them out their window treating the world as their giant ash tray. I see it all the time. So inconsiderate of others.

Anybody else find strange objects laying on the guard?

Found a butt in my fender liner while I was installing my oil cooler. I'm guessing it got there the same way yours did. F'ing inconsiderate smokers.

Found one in my wheel liner as well. Just driving how today a saw a butt tumbling on the highway in front of me. Didn't see it come out the back though...my car probably took a puff again.

I always love the little random surprises that pop up.

I found one in the fender lining while installing my intake. I hate people that litter, or smoke for that matter. It's disgusting. Their excuses don't mean anything to me. So what, they smoke outside, throw it on the ground and then walk into a public place where they still smell like a cigarette.

I hate inconsiderate smokers. The world is their ash tray. They don't give a damn, they just want their next fix. I especially hate smokers who will smoke with their kids in their car, or if they give a non smoker a ride, won't obstain from lighting up their cancer stick in their car. If you want to kill yourself--that's fine, but don't kill your kids or someone else in the process.

I see butts a fly'in towards my car all the time! I just drop it into 3rd and pass them up. I ALSO HATE when I am behind a smoker, especially if I have my windows down, and I smell smoke all the way home. Really aggravating. I try to pass them too. Don't really want to smell smoke all the way home.

Someone tossed a cigarette butt out the window right in front of me on the highway today. Pisses me off. If you must smoke, please put your butts in an ash tray in the car and then dispose of them properly when you stop.

I walk a mile for a Camel...

I changed my front bumper this weekend and found a cig in there too!

So, why do you remove the whole splash shield? I just have remove 3 bolts on the folding part, and use a bungee cord to hold it down while I work...

christian370z · 03-26-2011, 11:01 PM

Pretty amazing, I found one my bumper when I took it off last. Maybe the Z has picked up a smoking habit?

KillerBee370 · 03-26-2011, 11:23 PM

Wow.. this post really got me wondering so I went ahead and took off my guard and holy sh*t!!! I was wondering where those things went!
