dipstick envy
i figured you'd find some way to blame it on the liberals.
4 cm of plastic 2mm thick can't weigh that much less than 4cm x 5mm x 0.5mm of steel ribbon. no, i've figured out why they did it. the only way you can find the dipstick in the clutter of parts, wires, tubes and hoses under the hood is by putting a bright yellow piece of plastic on the end of it so it will stand out.
