Marie: Well, at least you can do fluids; some folks I know won’t even open the hood for fear.

Niche: Cute…I wonder if it’d hang to low on my Galant? I’d hate to rip off an oil pan. The Aveo is high water enough that it’d pass…hrm..might have to get one of those.

Courtney: Ha! There’s something about the words, “crush”, and, “lube”, in the same sentence that makes my eyebrows perk.

Some days it feels good to get some real things accomplished. It sounds like you were quite the busy boy! I take my car in to have it serviced. I'm not so talented that I can do it myself. Plus, I think my husband has a mini-crush on the Mr. Lube boys so I let him handle it. Hee. Courtneys blog: Tooth Fairy

Dang, I’m at 5K myself. Maybe this weekend. BTW, the Fumoto valve changed my life:

Hey, I just got an oil change, too! But I didn’t get to watch my car take a dump a few inches from my face.

I get a warm, happy, lost feeling when I open the hood of my car. I like to pretend I’m doing something really “Independent Woman-ish” (replacing an alternator) when I’m just putting antifreeze or wiper fluid in. I politely wave off the men who ask if I need help when they see me under the hood. Makes me feel great even though deep down I know I’m like a hypochondriac when it comes to my car. “OH GOD I’LL PROBABLY NEED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REPLACED..oh…it just needed more fluid..”

I think it’s neat you can change your oil. Glad you enjoyed your time with that
