Now thats some serious jack to clean up some oil on the old garage floor. Usually some spedi-dry or cat litter and a garbage can is all you would need. You must have some strict epa rules ya

Hi,
My buddy lives in the Country - Custom Built Home literally in the Middle of a Cornfield (which he owns and leases out to a local Farmer) - Quite Nice actually. Anyway, this guy is 50 years old and has
NEVER sold a Car - he actually has
EVERY Car he's ever owned including a '70 Mustang Convertible, '71 Lincoln Mark IV, '62 Cadillac Hearse, '46 Studebaker Pichup, '95 Lincoln Mark VIII, '84 Lotus Turbo Esprit, '03 Chevy Silverado Pickup, '04 Lotus Elise, '04 Boxster S, '05 Lexus 300(?). He's also had Company Cars for many years and these
do get recycled.
He had just built a 25 Car Steel Building on his property to house them all (+ some Winter Storage for some Friends
)- Heat, A/C, Office, Full Bath, Lift, Ceiling Hoist, Grease Pit, even a Wash Stall.
This Building was only 6 mos. old when the Leak happened and he wanted the Spill cleaned up right (bit of an environmentalist), so he called one of those Clean-Up Companies (like ServiceMaster) and they insisted that the Spill be cleaned to EPA Standards - Motor Oil is categorized as a HazMat. Since he had essentially reported it, he had no choice, plus the fact that from the get-go he intended that someone other than he (Dealer, PCNA, or PAG) foot the Bill. That much Oil would likely cost at least $500 worth of KittyLitter anyway...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
