I almost did that once.

However, I did manage to go out on track @ Gingermam w/o my oil cap on!

This will be the second time. I have a beer bottle on there now as the overflow bottle.

i did the same thing. I was driving and I saw some smoke. I pulled over and my coolant over flow tank was melting, it was breath taking, had to use a deer park water bottle as an overflow tank.

me neither, so I ended up dropping like $35 with Mike K. Another 3 months and $7 later I had a cap for the bottle, too

I didn't use an overflow bottle, I just let it drain on the ground.

<--bad bad man

My favorite is leaving a rachet on the crank bolt and trying to start the car. I did that like 3 times last Saturday.
