So my brother's girlfriend came over while I'm outside cleaning the car. IMMEDIATELY the first thing I hear is lifter noise. Mind you she lives miles away, engine is warm, which means her oil is running low. This is the 2nd time I know of she's done this. I heard the exact symptom a few months ago and it was low on oil and I topped it off for her.

Now i'm think to myself "You know what, I'm not saving it again, I want to see it seize up so she can learn a lesson."


My brother walks outside and I was hoping he didn't notice it and he didn't!

As nicely and gingerly as I could I often ask her to change her oil (brake, coolant, and trans fluid are DONE as well) and she just gets mad at me. I ask her what's the first thing she wants to fix and she says windshield and driver side window (it's off track)

Am evil for letting the car have a slow demise? The car she had previously she ran it into the ground as well.
