Default Drain plug washers work like quarters!!!

okay, i was sitting thinking about bygone days, and this certain memory crossed my mind, i used to work at a Jiffy lube, while our boss we despised, decided to get an older vending machine, the one where you put you change in the slots turn it and the goodies come out and money stays in,

well i was working the downstairs bay that day, and said hmmmm honda drain plug washers are about the same size as a quarter, so i walked happly upstairs to the break room, put two of those wonderful washers in there and "whalla" it work a snickers bar all for me, well i knew this was wrong and did not try again, but i told one of my best buddies, he loved the idea, got him some too, only he cleaned out the whole vending machine,

the next day, the boss was wondering "wow" my guys are hungry, well he opened the money compartment to find about 75 cents in quarters and $10 in honda drain plug washers..lol, well i didnt know about this at the time, until i was informed , seemed that a kiss A**
worker narc'd me and my buddy out, *******!!!!,

so we had a talk with the boss, and he said, your the only one smart enough here to even think this one up, if you werent so good at what you do i'd dock your pay and fire you, then i was scared cause i never intended it to go that far, so i know this has nothing to do with mustangs but i figured it happened around car with people who work on cars, i kinda miss that job, lot of good friends well hope this make some laugh, i know its a crimnal thing to do, but i did not intend for this work of maddness to go that far!!!!


Moral: never tell anyone of your mischief, and dont steal!!!!

Yah, Ive learned over the years that some people cannot be trusted. Even if they are your best friend. You have to make the judgment call on weather or not they are dumb lol..

Back in college, the dorms had laundry rooms that required quarters. I/we drilled a hole in a couple of quarters and and crazy glued a piece of 6lb monofilament fishing line to them and walla.....instant free laundry. Put it in the slot, activate the machine and pull it back out with the line.

Worked everytime.

Obamacare my a$$ We are all going to pay for electing this tool.

Remember, it is almost impossible for anyone, myself included, to diagnose a problem over the internet without seeing the car. My advice is simply that, advice based on years of experience. I don't want you or anyone taking my word as gospel. I am trying to give some direction as to what I think may be happening.
