When my kids were little, I couldnt be outside working on the car without them asking lots of questions, crawling over the seats, etc. So once I needed to remove the dash cluster on my 300D to work on some wiring connectors...a quick 30 minute job. I pulled into a parking lot about 5 minutes from home to do the work. After getting the instrument cluster off, I found that I needed a few additional connectors, so I wasnt ready to put the cluster back in...figured I'd drive home and finish. When I started the car...big surprise!!!...I was sprayed with dirty oil from the oil pressure guage line!!!! Ruined a good shirt and pants, but amazingly, no oil sprayed onto the carpet!!!
