I had a '73 Dodge Charger that was in need of a new oil sensor. Picked up the part, removed the old one, put in new oil, closed the hood and started the engine. Hmm, something's missing in that sequence. Yup, I forgot to put in the new oil sensor. This was pointed out to me by a passerby, who pointed to the increasingly large puddle of oil underneath the car. Luckily, I didn't hurt anything but my pride. (These things look like old German WW 2 hand grenades.)
