A kitten was found in the engine compartment of a trade in Pontiac Grand Am. It took a team of mechanics two hours to figure out how to get the kitten out of the engine compartment. The kitten did not belong to the previous owner.

Rolla Parker Sr. said the dealership decided to keep the kitten for a few days while they tried to find it a home, ultimately naming her "Motor Oil" and giving her the starring role in a Parker Chevrolet television commercial.
