I do have a couple quarts in my car and I do check it frequently.
I also have brake fluid, transmission fluid, antifreeze, an oil filter or 2, a gas can, rain X (I swear by that stuff), a funnel, a car emergency kit that has all the tools I need to change a tire or do minor stuff, plus more spare parts like an extender for my socket wrench so it can bend around stuff, spare spark plugs, spare bulbs for various lights, spare fuses, one of those lovely wrenchy things that lets you get the oil filter off since I can't do it by hand, jumper cables, a jack, a rag or 3, a flashlight, a pocket knife, a CPR mask (but my certification ran out, don't stop breathing around me!), one of those crazy silver thermal blankets, and a picnic blanket. Because you never know when you'll need a picnic blanket. Oh, and a spare tire, of course. And my tennis racket and a carton of balls.
I'm sure there's more in the back of my car, but that's all I can think of at the moment.
I can change spark plugs and oil and check my fliuds and do a few minor things. I've changed flats before. In the pouring rain, too!
I'm not helpless, just lazy.

*Mattie pokes her head in and looks around the newest floor. Overhears the float discussion, something about postcards, and "car talk" and wanders in.*
Well, I got lost lurking in the corner on 13 and now, before I know it, I've skipped 14 and gone straight to 15!
Wow! CMS, you sound like you're well covered with your car.
Goodness, aren't cars bothersome sometimes? I took my car to have it safety and emissions inspected two weeks ago (registration's due this month). I passed saftey--yay!--but not emissions because I have a "bad exhaust leak". The dude also told me that the middle tread on my back tires was completely worn, which is probably why I've been sliding around in the snow so much. I took care of my tires--$170 OUCH! And my car's in the shop now for the exhaust leak and other various repairs. I don't think I can afford to drive. What with gas prices and maintenance, yikes! There seems to ALWAYS be something wrong!
Oh, and yay on FIFTEEN floors! I think a nice rootbeer float sounds fantastic!
Wacky fun!

Yup. Cars are a pain. I miss mass transit and I miss living in FL where I could ride my bike nearly everywhere. It sucks when you have no options BUT to drive.
*pats Seryn on the head*
There there. Have an eclair!

We're gambling with pastries now?
Wait, it's not exactly gambling. So what in the name of The Gambler are we doing with pastries?

ew. I don't like danish or cinnabons.
And I can trump everything with this:
Tiramisu
Oh yeah!
