I understand if you all have no relation to what I'm saying. However, once you evolve and then you're reminded of your car experiences from decades ago, it's a tough transition. I'm working through it though.

Must be hard for you... Do you not use a funnel when doing oil changes with a 5qt jug?

What's so hard about aiming and slow-pouring the quart into the hole?

Or are you also the reason the men's room gets mopped twice a day?

Didn't your car come with a funnel. Both my wife's 16 SS and my 17 Zl1 did.

It does, but for your fuel tank as it has no fuel cap.

I had a Pontiac grand prix and it had some sort of extension off of the valve cover that made it easy to pour in oil.

Both of my previous cars also had to use a funnel to avoid any spillage.

First world problem though. In the grand scheme of things, it didn't/doesn't even register to me as an annoyance.

Everyone should own one of these. Gets into any hole, fills small narrow neck bottles and is great for adding to your gas tank (stabil, etc) . There is a reason it's called a "mechanic's funnel" - find it locally:
