Heh-heh... you too? I did it to my old Volvo while driving semi-cross-country. I checked the oil at a gas stop, topped it off, and hit the road again. An hour or two later, I notice the oil light flicker as I changed lanes.

There was a rest area half a mile up the road so I pulled in there and then saw the smoke.

When I finally popped the hood and figured out what had happened, I was actually relieved that that's all it was - I had half a case of it in the trunk for the trip! I thought I'd be stuck in BFE Indiana for days...
