Back in the early '80's I was working as a Service Advisor (they called us "writers" back then) at a Nissan dealer in NJ, when a customer drove up with a brand new Z bought the day before. The oil light was lit, but the motor wasn't knocking and we'd had a rash of bad senders from the factory anyway. I could easily have grounded the wire to check the gauge, those I6's were easy to work on, but I went with the "probable" and got lazy. That lax moment cost Nissan a pretty penny, it turned out the oil pump was working but very badly. No rapping at idle, but it died on the highway after I let him drive off with an appointment for tomorrow.
To this day, I have no idea why the dealership didn't fire me. My whole life might have been very different if they had, but as an employee, that mistake gifted me with a discipline to attend details and a determination to learn
everything, proclivities that have persisted to this day and served me well.
My Dad used to say, "Nature invented pain so we don't repeat the stupid s@%# we did yesterday." Boy, was he right.
