This may make your bad day go a bit better.

middle of winter I was changing the oil on my 84 ramcharger. Forgot to check the old filter for the gasket that was stuck to the engine block and threw the new filter on with made a big opening for all the oil to pump out in literally seconds all over the snow covered driveway. So I had to buy more oil and redo the change all over again lol.

That sucks!!! My dad did the same thing in his Triumph TR-6, left the old gasket on. It sealed just long enough for him to get 20 miles or so out of town... then puked all the oil all over the freeway! He noticed the problem and got the car turned off in time luckily so that no damage was done. Just an oily tow bill home.
