My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Sport
Carbon Black Metallic/Cream Beige
Manny tranny and other stuff
Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
Back off! I called it first!!
Anyway, though, I can't help but think of that Saturn commercial. The one where the guys open the trunk and spot a full-size spare. They're looking in amazement and one guy says, "Great day in the mornin'! What once was lost now is found." Then later in the commercial makes reference to the coelacanth.

Okay guys, I'm sort of stunned here but guess what? There is a dipstick on my car! At first I figured it had to be for the transmission but I pulled it out and it didn't seem long enough to reach the gearbox. I then looked at the color of the fluid on the end of the stick and, at first, I thought it was more red then brown but after I put some on my finger and wiped it off with a white paper towel, it was brown and not red.
I then decided to look at TIS to see if there was more information and I found the following document:
Attachment 44255
How the hell did we all miss that one?
In the following photo, take a look at the red circle near the firewall:

Here's a better shot of the little bugger:

Thanks for proving that... people were starting to think I was crazy.
