Something to laugh at

(2) Relax in a massage chair with a glass of wine, soda, coffee, or cappuccino while reading the latest Oprah, Parenting, or Shape Magazine or working on your laptop.
(3) 45 minutes later write a check and leave with a properly maintained vehicle where the fluids have been topped off, car has been washed, tires rotated, and courtesty inspection completed.

Money Spent
Oil Change: $34.95 (non-synthetic oil change)
Wireless access: FREE
Glass of wine, soda, or coffee: FREE
Courtesy Inspection: FREE
Massage in chair: FREE
Total cost of peace of mind knowing your car is maintained: PEAKFULLY PRICELESS

i also started fabbing the step for my dads new truck. his 2 hurt knees need all the help they can get with his new f150.


i am going to powdercoat it black and put 1/4" aluminum diamond plate on the top. also i need to put 2 jacking bolts on it to keep it tight in the hitch, otherwise it will rattle around.

There's a slight flaw in your oil change procedure. You can't perform step 21 in CT on sunday. Of course you can always take your wife's car to MA, VT, NH, NY, NJ, RI to get the beer cuz her oil will be fresh and full.

spoken like a true drunk!

speaking of wives cars...tomorrow i have to go look at a 2000 VW passat for a beater car. she doesnt want to keep racking up miles on her mustang, especially in the winter, and especially after the cams go in. i am waiting for the SCT SF3 programmer/scanner to show up so i can put them in.

Well its a sheet of ice here at the shop. I almost wiped out the side of my 2011 coming throught the gate at the shop, and down the hill. The truck finally stopped and I missed the gate. Now if I can get my hands to stop shaking.

BTW, Morning Everyone.
