It's an oldie but still good for a chuckle.

I can relate to that to Gabby.  Never got a dui, but I have experienced most of the rest of that story.  It's worth it to pay for the oil change.  Besides, my new car only requires oil changes every 10,000 miles.

As far as I'm concerned, they could weld the hood shut on the newer cars. No one can do their own maintenance on them anymore and they are throw-away vehicles anyway.  >:(
Just drive them until they quit and leave it along side I-35 like everyone else does.



Now back in the good old days........

I totally agree it is really not worth it to change your own oil, but I've reverted back to
it recently.  The quicklube places around here (Jackson, MS) aren't all that quick and it's
just simpler for me to change it.  Besides my truck holds 6 quarts of oil so it is generally
$40-$45 bucks to have it changed and I can buy oil and filter for about $22.  Not a
major savings but I don't drink beer either so that helps as well!!!

I kinda enjoyed changing my oil,  what I remember the most is:
3, 21, 28, 30, 32 and 35, tried to forget the rest.

I can't relate to all of it but often change my own oil.  I thought I was the only one who ever had to resort to hammering a screwdriver through the filter when it wouldn't budge lol.  I can do basic mechanical crap but it's way too frustrating for me.  I spend most of the time cussing. (swearing)
