Yeah, Badtux, they have that at all of the intersections in San Diego. They stop at the signs and lights and drip fluids onto the road surface. Heavy dew and you go flying into the intersection if you don’t brake much earlier than normal. That’s why they groove the freeways.

If there was a law that said you had to keep the oil in your beater rather than on the road… and oooh, don’t even start on the antifreeze, that stuff is slipperier than snot and beaters tend to spew that all over the roads too. Maybe if Texas created jobs for anybody other than minimum wage call center workers, people could afford real cars rather than oil-and-antifreeze-spewing beaters. Ya think?
