It was before she was in the picture. Not to say it wasn't nice, but that was in my first car, and i was on my 3rd when she showed up.

I would love to have a low oil light come on in all my vehicles, but without a dipstick, how would you know if the oil in a car you're considering purchasing has the correct level? Or if the thing is starting to leak? The dipstick is just too simple and accurate to remove entirely.
