Little off the subject of a broken dipstick tube, but this Saturday I stopped at a gas station in Pennsylvania and there was a Harley rider with his girlfriend on the bitch seat at the pump next to me. While I was filling up with gas, I pulled my oil dipstick out and caught the Harley rider watching with amazement. I made the mistake of saying that I guess my dipstick is a bit longer than yours. I am grateful that I didn't have to have my jaw wired shut, but I only spoke the truth.
