But he knows the job was done right!
Good Idea

Pretty funny Apex but a smart mechanic would have a full 30 rack handy so you dont run outof beer. Very Happy

And I have done 80 percent of this. Noone I know has a garage nevermind a door for it, and Skip church? I would have to go to skip it. Very Happy

Every thing else is spot on.

Side note: Im actually getting an oil change today in my car. To damn cold to do it myself. Very Happy

Oil Change instructions for Falcon:

1 Drive truck to garage/mechanic
2 take a walk around town
3 come back, thank the mechanic for GJ done, and drive home.

Money spent:

Oil Change $0.00
Total $0.00 and no aggravation at all

You may wonder why i get no aggravation or why i spend no money for this...because it's good to have a close friend who's the head mechanic of the garage and who's also part-owner of the garage Laughing

I have coupons from my dealership for $12.95 oil changes. For that and only wasting 20 minutes...that's the route for me.

Although, I INSIST on washing my own car. Wink
