I have a good one. My wife always takes her car to the dealer for the free oil changes. The last time she went, I received a frantic call from her that the mechanic said that there is power steering fluid leaking where the vehicle was parked. In fact, it is a major issue that must be solved post haste or she will risk losing power steering control of the vehicle. The mechanic puked up a long list of repairs that are immediately needed as seen from his inspection report. Wife calls me and I made a terrible mistake. I told her to tell the mechanic that her car has electric assist power steering and uses no fluid, hoses, pumps and other litter that he claimed needed to be replaced. What a fool am I. I should have had her use the AmEx card and tell the mechanic that she wants Everything replaced and fixed. That she doesn't want to ever have this problem with magic juice flowing from the steering system again. Of course it won't happen again because the car doesn't use hydraulics for the power steering. Then, I would take the invoice and my AmEx recipe to the local television news and other media sources. I blew it. Now another unsuspecting women (or man) is at risk.
