yeah, that's actually REALLY close to exactly how my last oil change went. no DUI, happy to report (no test drive too, if that's worth mentioning).

one happy addition to the list from my experience, though, used my gym towel to clean up about a quart of scalding oil from my hands, face, and chest (mistakes were made), and i still use the towel. so after every trip to the gym, i smell like sweat and 5W-30. damn manly, i say.

I find this completely wrong. $13 for me to do it. Never found any lube place that does it for less than $25. I save my beer drinking for after I work on my car.

Master your ego, and you own your destiny.
Im with Matt on this one. My fiance just took her car to a jiffy lube (she was up in Pittsburgh, so I couldnt do it) and it cost her like $30+, and more than 15 min to note. I buy whole cases of oil, which saves a ton in the long run, and any man worth his rocks knows where his tools are at all times (the TV remote still eludes me however...) So then all you need to do is buy a new filter: $5, when you go to pick up a case of beer - $10-$15. So I save at least $10, get away from the nagging, get slightly drunk, and "putz around" with my truck. It's a no brainer. Plus, men don't need instructions on how to change oil, it's instinct. Any man who lacks the basic knowledge of how to change the oil in his own car is scarecly a man at all.

Oh, and goose, its the difference in taste, not smell...

Any man who writes a check when he can use cash or credit is queerbait. This is not debatable.

Amen. I can't stand being behind the old ladies in the grocery store who insist on writing a check.

Tangent.... What the hell is with these "older" towns that refuse to accept debit/credit cards, I hate going away from my city (don't carry cash anymore). Or places like Waffle House, in my case, that won't accept said cards but you can pay in their "ATM looking machine" which charges you two bucks just to pay for the meal... wtf? Also agree Man + Checkbook = Queer. Ok, end of threadjack... let's get it on.
 
This is true. Mmm, carcinogens.

more like Mmm, cancer...I like my oil how I like my women

thick, slippery, and wet :tongue2_1 :eek: ;)

Anywho, uhh I know plenty of males that use checkbooks, mainly business-types though. They're either one of two things 1) Rich ******* with nothing to do but write sh!t out and take you time in line or 2) Old fashioned.... I personally only use my debit and when I got cash...it just seems fast and easy compared to writing sh!t out, no one can read my chicken-scratch anyways....

Well, I haven't been changing my oil long enough to get cancer, just to get covered in delicious carcinogens.
