That's FABULOUS! In my neighborhood I have never seen a hood up, or a husband mowing a lawn. Not even the couple of guys with Porsches!
When one is working to acquire that kind of money. One does not do them things themselves. One buys back time which they are short on by hiring somebody else to do the work. Trading excess for something needed.
Well I shocked them! :lol: :lol: :lol: Maybe even shook them up... June

Admit it you liked it. I would be worried about you if you did not.

You where doing a community service. You provided them with a catalyst to socialize which in itself is entertaining. 8)

Congrats! Feels good, doesn't it. As others have mentioned, oil in the intake piping is no big deal. It's coming through the PCV system. Some of the oil vapor condenses after getting sucked into the intake, upstream of the turbo. Most makes it to the cylinders and is burned off, as is the system's intent.
