1. When my PCV valve got replaced, my engine began developing power a bit better right off the line (low speeds and heavy acceleration) but the battery/alternator warning light began to flicker.* There is a wormhole in the space-time continuum linking the PCV valve and the alternator in my car. Scientists believe this previously unsuspected phenomenon may hold the key to interstellar travel.
2. All that red stuff pooling on anything under the hood. My transmission fluid level is correct, despite the fact that it had been months since I'd checked it. However, there is unquestionably a large amount of transmission fluid all over my engine and the floor of my garage. Evidently my car is producing new transmission fluid in its bone marrow. I had to fight off a leukemia researcher who was trying to steal it this morning.

* Yes folks, looks like my car is eating another alternator. If this follows the usual pattern, the problem won't be bad enough that the mechanic can detect it until at least autumn. It'll be the voltage regulator again -- it usually is.
