Were these friend's vehicles? No oil showing on the dipstick? WOW.
Neighbor. Their cars are real beaters, especially the Caravan. The Caravan had less than 1mm left on the front pads, so I pad-slapped it with some Duralast Gold Cmax pads and did a brake flush. Its serpentine belt tensioner on it is shot, so every time you put load on the p/s pump, you get a nasty screech. The front tires were bald-smooth, rears were at bars. A/C doesn't work, both front windows do not roll down. Radiator was also 1/2 full.
