So yesterday I changed my oil, and nothing particularly exciting happened. The car ran fine after the change, and I was on my way to my father's house, when I had to stop to drop off a movie and get a card for my grandfather for father's day. So I go to drop off the movie, and my girlfriend goes to get the card. While I'm waiting for her to come back outside, I notice a little pool of red liquid next to my driver's side door, that is running down the hill. My first though: "Holy Shnikes, it's ATF." I get out, and look under the car, and see something dripping out from the engine compartment. Second thought: "Great...that's all I need right now...a new transmission." I touch the red liquid and feel that it is cool. Third thought: "ATF should be hot...I just drove about five miles, and it should be warm by now...wtf?" I put my hand under what was dripping from the engine, and it's just water, probably from my A/C... Fourth thought: "God, I'm glad that's not atf!"
I notice a little stream of this red liquid, and walk around to the other side of the car. It appears that the person who had parked here before me had dumped out some red fruit punch, and it was trickling underneath my car. Fifth thought: "That stupid bastard. I ought to beat the crap out of them for making me think my trans was dead and they'll pay for that, those stupid %&$*( &%^#@ @##$%$#$"
Anyways...the trans was not leaking. I am just an idiot. I almost shat myself, and I looked stupid in the process.

By the way, the fruit punch smelled VERY fruity!
