In A Robot World Of Metal, Cardboard Loses (Video)
Way, way back in the days when we had the time to work on cars ourselves, we were always looking for techniques to save money doing the repairs necessary just to keep our stable of clunkers running.
One hack that we clearly remember was fashioning an oil filter out of a roll of toilet paper. It worked, kind of, but we can't really recommend trying it, especially in this day and age. So, when we saw the latest Purolator “Metal Wars” commercials that pit RoboGames/Combots style battling robots against the forces of cardboard and toilet paper used by some of Purolator's competitors, it had us rolling with laughter.
Of course, some skeptics might say that these match-ups are “no contest”, and, they would be right. That's exactly the point that Purolator is trying to make with the commercials. Cardboard and toilet paper has no place in your engine.
