Damn straight. Just like beer, you can get it anywhere. I went to the source for this cheese though, the dairy where it's made. Some of the best cheese I've ever had and a lot cheaper than the local stores.

Uhh hey guys. Back from my test. I scored a 184 on the reading section and a 182 on the math section. I won't know the writing part of the test until they score my essay.
I guess thats pretty good, since the top score you can get is a 190! I'm pretty happy with that, seeing as how I haven't been in college for 4 years....and I didn't study for this test. Apparently you're supposed to study for it, and I didn't know that until this morning when I started the test. Oops.
I was almost late for it..which is bad because I paid $180 to take this freakin thing. I almost ran out of gas in Randy's Jeep on the way there. :-)
How is everyone else's day going? Nice pull there Pat!!!

Well, I'm sitting at the dealership
, waiting to find out how much my..........
"free oil changes for life is going to cost me"
It's not the PSD, it's time for a oil change in our Nissan minivan
.
I would have to say it's a pretty sweet shop and they have four desktops in the waiting area, so I can puruse FTE.
How everyone doing?

Got there around 5 a.m. thinking there wasn't going to be that many people.
It was packed by then. I made it as far as center span,
then had to turn around and walk back. That took a long time.
Still hard to believe the center span flattened out, though.
Yep!. It was fun.

I bought a plan like that for my PSD. I got 20 oil changes out of them for $700. But got tired of them taking nearly 2hrs to do it!! Now I do it myself with synthetic.
I walked it last time I was out in Cali visiting a friend, and you're right, the views are awesome! $6.00 toll?? Ouch!! That's like the bridges in NY city!

Thanks guys. Not sure if it matters but just in case you all were wondering this is for the PRAXIS I test...its sort of like an ACT or SAT..but for people who want to go to grad school. I'm just relieved I still remember stuff I used to know in college!
I prefer to change my own oil. I don't let strangers touch my truck (unless they came recommended
) Besides its a real good time to look the truck over to make sure everything is lookin okay.

Van is still under warrenty, it's just a program...bring the van to the dealer for all regular maintenance and oil changes are free. I have been here a while though
, usually we just drop it off.

I prefer to do it myself, but I got my money's worth, and I'd sit & watch them do it too. Made some of them kinda nervous, but I didn't care.
The service manager told me once "My guys know what they're doing. You can relax"
My reply: "Really? 'cuz my little sister DOESN'T know how to change oil and I bet you the keys to my truck that she could get it done quicker & cleaner. Gotta wonder why it takes them so long when you have the tools & the knowledge..."
He left me alone after that. And no, I'm not always an ****, but after 5 times in there and the shortest being 1hr 30min I was done with being nice about it. But yes, I can be an ****, and then some!

Great job on the test Lisa!!!
Good afternoon everyone!
My jeep was the same way, free oil changes I bitched about having to drive so far to do it but when its free oh well. They gave my free oil changes with the truck also but I have to take it to a Chrysler stealership to have it done. I tried that once....... I waited for almost 2 hours before they came and told me they didn't have a filter for my truck and it would be another hour before they could get it. Needless to say I was a little pissed off, got my keys back, said a few choice words to him and never returned.
