I did it ....

ok I've always been a race the car and let someone else do the dirty work ... but today I did my first oil change .. didn't take long .. (actually my first oil change was in Alberta but I had white92D15b7 helping) today was my first on my own...

and I changed the spark plugs and spark plug wires on my own ... I've done brake pads before... I think I'm almost ready to start tackling big stuff..... like trany swaps and clutch changes

well basically it was a time thing ... I've known how to change oil and other stuff for a while now .. (hell I assembled my shocks/spring assemblies together) just never had the time to do so ... so I'd pay someone else to be quicker .... but now I'm poorer so I've learnt it's cheaper to do it yourself
