Um I bought AutoZone's top battery for $115 and it has an 8 year warranty with a 3 year free replacement...

take about two alternators worth of beef and grind that into the "kitty litter". the meat absorbs the oil stains and will hold in the fat when you sear the steak in your preheated oven. remember to use kosher salt.

damn you people that think having oil spills in your driveway is somehow normal are

GHETTOFABULOUS!!!!

I do think it's funny how so many here same '$x dollars won't buy you anything where *I* live' as well. Meanwhile they managed to find the only $50k home in a 1000 mile radius.

OP you could have avoided the whole mess by saying:

Your car died mysteriously and you called AAA since you were in a hurry to get to work and didn't have time to repair it (because you can rebuild an engine in 30 minutes). The AAA guy was rude, peed on your lawn, kicked your dog , and he purposefully spilled oil all over your driveway because you had a bumper sticker he didn't like. You value hard work and now you finally have a house you are proud off and don't want to offend your neighbors with an eyesore and also you realized that living in a HOA was a bad idea and they have threatened to take your first born if the stain isn't remedied immediately.

This thread delivers!

But the answer, for the OP, is to sue your car manufacturer. It shouldnt have a battery defect that causes it to become empty after a few months of not being used or looked after. If your battery hadnt died, you wouldnt have needed the AAA, and then you wouldnt have gotten icky oil all over your precious driveway. I would think that was obvious.

Then sue the AAA for endangering your life. What if you slipped on that oil?

Then sue your driveway manufacturer - oil shouldnt stick to it! Its not your fault.

But seriously though.... I cant imagine that you would get anywhere in life and I cant imagine that you would run a succesful business with an attitude like this. That might explain why you sold it actually. Instead of saying, "How can I solve this problem?", you said, "I want someone else to solve my problem for me."

And thats even evident in your passive aggressive action of posting this thread. Instead of phoning the AAA and telling them you werent happy and expected better, for your 2 AAA gold cards and $500 000 house, you post a thread here. Why? What do we know?

I want to see the OP holding up a sign saying "Yes ATOT this is my 12 inch diameter oil spill" with him and the stain. Will also need to see a measuring tape in the picture so we can verify the size.

Taking care of it myself would be more Un-American, you're confused. I pay $130 a year for 2 premium tripleA cards. And LOL, I'm not sueing. But I will stand up for myself and have them come back and wash up the white mess from the kitty litter and maybe kitter litter it one more time. Sometimes you gotta have a backbone. I once had my wheels slightly scratched when having tires put on. I MADE THEM rechrome all my wheels for free!

To do nothing is weak. Very Weak!
To do something maybe will result in that dumbass AAA guy tightening the caps on his fluids and/or store them properly in the back of his truck.




Grow Up!
I live below my means, max out my 401k and save. Do you?




Maybe they will laugh. Then I will hang up and physically visit the dealership or closest tripleA location on my day off.

What they gonna do, call the cops if I don't leave without resolution ?

Guaranteed results. (for all you that doubt me, grow a pair)




Not a Lambo, but it cost me more than my last apartment (in new england) did. Chew on that! moron.



Seriously. LMAO.
AAA will visit you when your car won't start and change your battery if needed. And if you have an existing AAA battery, it's free replacement for under 3 years. Mine was 3 1/2 years old so i got it pro-rated (i paid $85 instead of $115). And best of all, the new battery's 3 year free replacement warranty starts again. Not bad eh?

Why get my hands greasy and waste my time when I don't have to?


Seriously, half the responses are dumb-assed/immature responses.
Anyways,

Thanks for all the helpful posts though :)
