Car Maintenance
Did my first oil change today. Car has don 60,000 miles and I think it might be it's first. Very satisfying, and gave me an excuse to buy a monkey wrench the length of my arm and a gallon tub of swarfega. I wish everybody knew how satisfying routine maintenance can be

Re: Car Maintenance
On an old merc 300 the oil is spilling right into your face, call it the "oil shot", when it`s still warm call it the "boil shot".

I spat oil in my face when I took a cold chisel to my oil filter. Need a merc 300. Mum got rid of her 280 after the suspension collapsed. Idiot

Dear Bacchus. The lst thing a mechanic of any type wants to see when he gets home after a hard week of fixing other broken shit is any fucking thing broken shit at home. Morepower to those that like it but... fuck that. My weekend is for going to the Island.

The carpenter's house is never finished, the auto mechanic's car needs body work, the tailor's elbow needs a patch...
But do ya ken, to fix is to be a man. To break things, as well!

You might want to leave the mending of trannys to medical professionals.

Beyond simple car maintenance and fanny-pumps, there was Dean Jeffries.
