Old Mech, my friend was upset with me when I did not like that she drove my car after seeing a puddle of oil, without checking the dipstick. She insisted that everything was fine and that when she finally did check, the oil level was where it was supposed to be.
When I was looking for $1,500 beaters I ran across a car that had a wrecked engine from insufficient oil, but you would understand that peril better than most.
My sister is an overprotective mother and insisted that she needed an "SUV" to protect her babies. Then she had a rollover in another SUV and suffered from a TBI. People want larger vehicles than everyone else to protect themselves from everyone else, while I drive a small car and avoid everyone else. Sometimes, I get 50 MPG, too.
