So for about ten miles I was driving the Mazda with no transmission fluid and ten quarts of oil. I couldn’t understand why billows of black smoke puffed out the exhaust. If I had been able to read these smoke signals I’m sure the car was telling me that I was pretty stupid.
WOW!!!!! Not trying to bust your balls but it looks like you have some serious mechanical ability problems.........

Sounds like a major ball-bust to me.

Some of us aren't mechanically inclined. At least he has the balls to get under the hood and try it out. I don't get under the hood and have no intention of ever doing so. I know for certain that I'd absolutely fug things up if I did. I barely have the ability to pump my own gas. Besides, I've got enough hobbies as it is without hanging out in the garage getting dirt under my finger nails.
