I like your creativity, Doug!

My biggest concern on my car was overheating from a broken fan belt, so I did this...

Well, if an oil hose ever went, and one was losing oil, they could lose pressure.

Oh Thank the heavens! Phew. . I thought the apocalypse had come - until you clarified.

Now, when the engine blows up he hears loud noises, sees smoke AND a red light. Before, it was just smoke and noise.

Now instead of telling standard time, looks like your clock warns you of a very SPECIAL time.

Take care!

Come to think of it I could have used amber lamps.

If it isn't clear, everything is intended to be humorous!

I don't think amber lamps would be as noticeable, Amber Lamps.

Take care!
